I remember it being a very exciting moment..

I think it was when I was living on St Augustine Street

when I realized for the first time..

that when people say, or use the expression, 'kernel of truth'

that what it DOES NOT MEAN.. is 'a small/tiny amount of truth'

it has nothing to do with the size of the kernel

rather,

like, the microwave popcorn kernel..

it POPS OPEN UNDER PRESSURE

***

and we've seen this a million times, yes..

in our own lives, raising children,

or during interrogations

or court cases.. in real life and/or tv dramas

you can ask a certain question once, casually and the answer you receive is a lie..

but ask the same question, with a threatening tone

ask, under high pressure/stakes circumstances..

-eventually

the truth pops out.

-fascinating how humans are designed, isn't it

truth is like a microwave popcorn kernel

-falls under a spiritual law category, because it applies to all of humanity

with no regard for year of birth/or place; or time; race, finances, education, religion, etc.

but it doesn't apply to 'truths' across the board.. the microwave popcorn kernel

it seems to apply to 'truths' which for one, or any number of reasons

has a perceived negative consequence for the host

if we were to draw a picture..

inside/truth with negative consequence

outside layer(s)/lies; cover-ups

means more to hear 'the truth is inside there somewhere...'

in, Jesus is the truth, the way, the life's name, ~amen.
