Head in the Sand

Do not bury your head in the sand

“But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God”. (John 3:21 N.I.V)

Denial is one of the most powerful forces in the world. It is more powerful than love or hate. Many of us go into denial because we want to protect ourselves from the pain, hurt; embarrassment or rejection.
The effect of denial especially when prolonged is self destruction. We have to face up to the truth of our pain in order to address it. No amount of denial will cure our illness, our relationships, or our financial situation. We have to wholeheartedly engage our emotions and aspirations and confront our problems courageously so that we can work to transform our situation.
We have to let the truth come to light and live by it. We have to act like Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea of the Bible who owned up to the fact that they were “Closet Christians” and make decisive actions to transform our lives based on the strength of our convictions.

The truth no matter how painful sets free.


Wise Quote: “You will find peace not by trying to escape your problems, but by confronting them courageously. You will find peace not in denial, but in victory”. ~ J. Donald Walters
