Truth
You with open minds; truth-ready minds will see it at once. Prefer my life-disciplines over chasing after money, and God-knowledge over a lucrative career. For Wisdom is better than all the trappings of wealth; nothing you could wish for holds a candle to her (Proverbs 8:9-11).
As we’ve progressed on our journey toward authenticity, we have talked about being more self-aware and about the importance of pursuing godliness. To help us do both more fully, we must be willing to take an honest look at our lives and be willing to seek the truth about who we are now versus who God calls us to be in Christ.
The concept of truth has always been at the center of great debates amongst theologians and scientist. The foundational key to living authentically is truth. When truth is absent from our lives, it is impossible for the soul to truly be free. It is therefore a spiritual imperative that you should not only be true to yourself, but should continuously strive to live in the full light of the truth and to be governed by the Spirit of Truth. As the psalmist wrote, "What You’re after is truth from the inside out. Enter me, then; conceive a new, true life" (Ps. 51:6).
Truth demands honesty. Anyone daring to live authentically must, first and foremost be honest with themselves and others. Always speak the truth. Exemplify truth. Uphold the truth. Stand on the truth. Live the truth!
Leaders of the future will have the courage to align with principles and go against the grain of old assumptions or paradigms. It takes tremendous courage and stamina to say, "I’m going to align my personal value system, my lifestyle, my direction, and my habits with timeless principles." -Stephen Covey
