Painful Truths
by Randy Chambers, 2004-12-07
Jeremiah 3:21, KJV: A voice was heard upon the high places,
weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way,
and they have forgotten the LORD their God.
We may think that by always trying to find the good in things that we are being
optimistic--and so we may be. But optimism must be applied with wisdom--wisdom that leads
us to see things as they are rather than hiding them behind the rose-colored glasses of
our hopeful wants and wishes. If we are to be of any real help to this world, we must not
hide behind the guise of optimism that is really a shield to protect us from the painful
truths.
