Selah Moment: True vs. Real

I had a "Selah" moment this morning during my workout. I was talking with the Lord about how I wanted to be true rather than real. I paused and calmly thought of that! (that's what "Selah" means, to pause and calmly think of that!) and wondered about the difference between true and real. I thought that something may be real but not true. Like perceptions. Sometimes my perceptions are real, at least, to me, but they are not always true. Then, I thought, maybe I need to be real to get to true. But, maybe that's not true. I thought about what Paul says in Philippians 4, that we should think on those things that are true, noble, pure and of a good report. Could it be that true is real made pure?
