I recently identified when I embrace truth, I feel the same warmth as when I feel love. I realized the reason for this is because love and truth are both emotions that generate light which heals.
Finding truth is also a journey to become love based
Because truth generates light as love does, the journey to find and embrace truth is also a journey enabling me to overcome the
