It hurts when lies begin unravelling and we’re left naked with the Truth

Unravelling 72Domino is seeing the fabric of what she thought was her life unravel as she discovers deeper truths about a friend.  Learning the truth is hurtful. She feels naked and exposed and betrayed, yet she’s built up such a story line with family, friends, children that she can’t now go to them with the truth. She tied her future and income to this person. Now she feels alone yet unable to share her pain.  I’ve learned that when you cloak yourself with lies, it is a false security you have woven. It is only when the lies drop away and you stand unafraid to embrace the naked Truth that there is true freedom.  Those who don’t honor you enough to be truthful, especially if they discuss the importance of being truthful, are hiding a great pain. It’s the only way they know how to live. When you find it is no different with you, embrace that Truth and decide how long you will continue to wear the emperor’s new clothes. Bless those who expose the false security for they hand you the key to freedom.
