TRUTH...OUR LIGHT FROM WITHIN

For those of us who are plodders, we come to "know" truth, but we learn soon enough that truth must be proved. It must be proved by us...individually and personally...otherwise, it's just another wish that we repeat and hope it soon may come true.

The life-problem is that we seldom realize it is being proved daily. It is only in looking back that we can see, or that our reasoning mind can accept, that truth was proved even as we breathed. We did get through that apparent disaster...the disaster did happen, but we emerged not unscathed but changed and changed for the better. There. That is the realization that takes a long time completing in us.

Actually, it just seems to take a long time completing because it is never finished. To me, the proof of that is in a few of my go-to truths: ”I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight….” (Isa.45:2), ”For He performs the thing that is appointed for me….” (Job.23:14), and "Where sin increased, grace abounded all the more...." (Romans 5:20)

Each of those have proven true in my life, and the great stand-up-and-shout news is they are being true in my life right this very red-hot minute, and I don't even know which or what is being worked out. The good news is that I don't need to know...the best news is I know that and the majority of the time, my mind rests in it. 

Truth not a one-shot deal...it continues to grow and to glow as it lights our life from within. 

Thank you.
