I Was Inspired Until She Said These Three Words

I was watching an interview with a popular celebrity here in the Philippines.

As I listened, I found myself amazed by her wisdom. She was inspiring, motivational, and full of words that could stir someone into action.

I could see why so many people admire her.

But then, she said something that caught my attention.

Three simple words:

“Live your truth.”

I paused to think about that.

How many people are listening to her? How many might hear those words, accept them as wisdom, and begin living by them?

What’s even more interesting is that this person is actually a Christian.

And that’s where I started thinking.

You see, something can sound wise, feel inspiring, and come from someone who claims to follow Christ, yet still be contrary to what the Bible teaches.

Here’s why those three words bothered me.

Yeshua made a very powerful statement in John 14:6 (NKJV):

“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.'”

Notice what He said.

He didn’t say He was one of many truths.

He said He is the truth.

That means truth isn’t something we create for ourselves. It isn’t whatever feels right, makes us happy, or agrees with our personal desires.

Our beliefs, opinions, and feelings must be measured against God’s truth, not the other way around.

And here’s something I want you to remember:

You cannot follow the truth of Christ while choosing your own truth whenever His teachings become uncomfortable.

This is especially important today.

We’re constantly surrounded by voices telling us how to think, what to believe, and how to live. Some sound convincing. Others are inspiring. But not everything that sounds right is actually right.

So how do we avoid being led astray?

We need to know God’s Word. We need to understand what He teaches and learn how to apply it in our daily lives.

And that’s not always easy.

Perhaps you want to grow spiritually, overcome your weaknesses, make better choices, and live a life that pleases God. But sometimes, you don’t know where to begin or how to put biblical teachings into practice.

That’s one reason I created How to Live a Victorious Life, a FREE Bible study series.

It’s a 31-day journey designed to equip you with faith, strength, and practical wisdom to face life’s trials and grow into a true spiritual champion.

Because living a victorious Christian life isn’t about following whatever sounds good. It’s about learning to walk according to God’s truth.
