"In our natural mind, we are very good at denying reality. We use our fears as a hiding place and try to tell ourselves all sorts of things that pacify our need to avoid the pain of admitting that things are not the way we have really wanted them to be. You can never get to where you want to be until you admit to where you are. It is not the truth that hurts; it is the lies we have believed that hurt when the light of truth shines into our darkness." Pastor Downing
