The WHOLE Truth

She Told me the WHOLE Truth!

That moment in which I know Farida is hiding something, a moment of following anxiously her actions, of feeling she avoids direct contact with me. She knows perfectly what´s wrong yet she fears how unhappy I will be, so she decides to go along and act as if nothing happened. But still something shows behind that smile, behind this face trying to hide into this puzzle she is doing. I assure you parents out there know these awkward minutes and wait for that moment of truth. Finally Farida comes to me, opens up in tears and tells me the WHOLE STORY…tells me about how bad she feels not standing next to her sister at school when their friends decided to include only her in the game leaving Leila out. She knew her sister was sad but still chose to side with the friends. That moment of truth not only cleansed her heart but brought them together stronger than before realising that her happiness with friends is worthless if it is on the account of her sister. What a Moment to remember when she told me ALL THE TRUTH despite knowing it might annoy me and openly admitting her love to her sister…She believed in our forgiveness!

Reading in Mark 5 the famous incident of the woman with flow of blood-who sneaked in the crowd to touch the clothes, the hem of the garment of Jesus, knowing in her heart that this simple touch would heal her sickness and ailment that no doctor could take away for 12 painful years-I stood still noticing that same MOMENT of Truth I experienced with Farida:

But the woman, knowing what had been done for her, though alarmed and frightened and trembling, fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. (Mark 5:33 AMP)
وأمّا المَرأةُ فجاءَتْ وهي خائفَةٌ ومُرتَعِدَةٌ، عالِمَةً بما حَصَلَ لها، فخَرَّتْ وقالَتْ لهُ الحقَّ كُلَّهُ. (5 مَرقُسَ:33 )

She knew she did something wrong, touching THE Master while being impure and unclean with her bleeding, she might have been afraid and trembling…but she didn’t hide it…she did what His heart was looking for…she fell before Him and TOLD HIM ALL THE TRUTH…like a daughter into the arms of her father.

Dear friends, how often we keep things in our hearts in fear of shame and disgrace in the eyes of our Heavenly Father? I have been so many times hiding my feelings, my wrong doings and weaknesses believing life will go on…not wanting to tell Him THE WHOLE TRUTH in prayer. But then, his woman brought it clear to me…her healing was in her heart before her body…her faith in admitting her weakness and belief in His endless power to heal brought me to realize that the truth and ONLY the truth at His feet will set free.

Do not stand trembling in your prayer…open you heart...Bring Him THE TRUTH…the WHOLE truth…He wants to hear you and Heal you!

Keep shining my friends!
