Beneficial Liars

I have found myself subject to the beneficial liar.

What is a beneficial liar?

A liar that tells their lies to benefit themselves only.

It has left me bleeding. As I bleed I realize I have complete control over the lies I believe and accept.

I know I have to remove all negative from my life.

Hurt with this realization brings a lump to my throat.

The lies I want to believe, but to face the lies is to realize truth.

The Bible says, "the truth shall set you free."

I reach out to the only truth that has remained true. I hold to the one that has revealed my beneficial liar.

I cling for peace, healing, and comfort because this revelation has rendered me angry, hurt, and weak.

As I sift thru the emotions I am left with a decision.

Do I continue to believe my beneficial liar? Or the truth in which I know?

No more do I need to believe the lies of a beneficial liar.
