Live in Truth is a portion of a quote I read in Geri Scazzero’s book, “The Emotionally Healthy Woman,” and I’m pondering it with you today.
For Lent 2025, I’ll be writing new blog posts every day. I’m writing for just five unedited minutes on a quote of the day to deepen our faith in this Lenten season.
Day 9 of Lent 2025 – March 13
This quote reminds me of a conversation I had with a good friend. I was asking her why our small group of parents at church shut down when I gave answers to the prompts from the Alpha series.
She looked at me with kindness and respect. Then she said, “Sarah, you are very self-aware. Most people find that intimidating. I don’t think you need to change anything. But there is definitely a cost to being self-aware, even in church.”
It took decades of work on myself to get to the point of living in truth so I could live in freedom.
Setting boundaries and living by them has cost me greatly, but gained me even more. My choices, led by God’s guidance, have given me a life lived true to my convictions.
It is a rare and expensive life in contrast to the cheap, common offerings of the world, but I will have it no other way.
Now that I have had to fight for it so fiercely, I won’t let anyone take it from me through boundary violations or a lack of responsibility and/or repentance.
I reread portions of this book yesterday and drank in the wisdom. It strengthened my resolve, and I know it can help you too.
I highly recommend this book that debunks lies we live by as women. We can use it as a guideline to live in truth and grow in self-awareness.
How have you grown in self-awareness through faith? Let me know in the comments.
Join me again tomorrow for another reflection on a different quote. I encourage you to reflect on a special gift God has given you and let me know about it in the comments.
