We must prove Truth.
We can have our favorite affirmations, repeat them till our face falls off, but until we prove them, they are just so many words.
I love "He goes before me to make the crooked places straight." That's from somewhere in the Bible. The trouble is when we're standing at the wrong end of a crooked place, or we're at the edge of a never-land chasm, our reasoning mind too often tells us God is not available. Period.
The logic being if God were going to make this crooked place straight...why hasn't he? It's still here, and we've got to walk it or leap into it or...do it our self, to be blunt. So we decide we never really wanted that anyway and quit...or we need a pill/a joint/a drink to calm us down or build us up, and we turn that way.
The not-quite-bright part is when the next difficulty arises, we say our affirmation, "He goes before me to make the crooked places straight," and know we're lying. Because he doesn't if we don't get out of his way! As in, if we quit. Or rely on an ersatz god to do our feeling for us.
We must prove our truth. It is only by risking our all that we learn after the fact that there was no risk. God does the proving, and he uses our hands and feet, our body and brains to do it. We just need to hold our nose and take a leap of faith to prove it.
Thank you.
