Nobody said the truth wouldn't hurt.. or knowing the truth would have no consequences..

But, one thing's real.. the truth does set us free. Having room for "what if's" and buts could be even more painful than not knowing the truth. At least after knowing the truth, the path is clear before us. We'll know what to do, and where to proceed from where we are.. :)

Knowing and accepting the truth in humility and surrender (to God) is the key. Don't let there be room for "what ifs" anymore. :)
