Do you want to know the truth, or do you prefer lies? Do you prefer only words you want to hear, or words that are true?
Is it that you prefer lies, or have you been lied to so much that the truth is foreign? Maybe you never knew the truth? The truth looks and sounds like a lie, and the lies look and sound like the truth.
Which will you believe? What do you prefer?
You say, “Tell me the truth!”
But no, you love smooth talk. You prefer to hear words that make you feel good. You truly say, “Lie to me.”
Because you’ve lived in lies for so long, you hate the truth.
Because you’ve lived in the dark for so long, the light is too bright for you.
I pray that your eyes will adjust. I pray that the truth will help you see—that it will set you free.
Which will you believe? What do you prefer?
This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: “Lord, who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere: “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn—and I would heal them.”
Love,
