The things that are less true take us away from our hearts. The gifts of truth are what our hearts can offer us when we tell God and others the truth about our feelings.
We develop the gifts of truth by:
◉ Naming what we feel. ◉ Telling God and someone who cares about us what we feel. ◉ Believing that God and others will be with us and help us.
