I think we often like to present an illusion to the people around us that we always have it all together in our lives, that we are never troubled or sad about anything. We sometimes also think that other people's lives are relatively free of troubles and heartaches. This, of course is not true. We all face trials of various kinds and degrees in our lives. The Lord is the only One who fully understands our heartaches in their depths. Yet to the degree that I have shared my heartaches with others as well as the Lord, I have felt uplifted and helped. To the degree that I have felt deeply moved to pray for someone else, I have also felt helped and uplifted. If truth be told, we need to share our burdens on a much larger scale than we do. I recently ran across a song that talks about that very thing. The song is titled. "Truth be Told." Following is a link to that song on You Tube and then also the written lyrics for the song. It certainly is food for thought:
