My Dear Friend,
SPEAK AND STAND BY THE TRUTH
Let me encourage you with this truth:
“When you stand up to speak the truth, you don’t just make noise—you make enemies.”
Don’t be surprised or discouraged when your honesty makes people uncomfortable. Don’t shrink back just because your voice isn’t popular. Truth is not always welcomed—especially in places where deception has become normal, and compromise is the easy way out.
You see, when you speak truth, you expose what others may be trying to hide. You challenge lies that people have built their comfort around. And that will naturally attract resistance. But don’t let the fear of being disliked stop you. If you’re standing for what’s right—do it boldly. You’re not here to please the crowd; you’re here to honor God and live with a clean conscience.
Even Jesus—perfect in truth and love—was hated and crucified for it. That shows you that truth doesn’t guarantee applause; it often guarantees warfare. But truth also carries power. It liberates, it purifies, and it lasts far beyond the noise of opposition.
So speak the truth. Stand by it. Even if it costs you approval, relationships, or comfort. Better to stand alone in truth than to sit with a crowd in error.
Your voice may make enemies—but in heaven, it echoes as faithfulness.
Stay strong. Stay true. Stay fearless.
