Finding Truth

Trust in the Lord and He will show you His pathways. Believe that He died for your sins and they will be washed away. Then dream your greatest dream, hope beyond all hopes, for anything is possible with God. Sometimes I wonder that some of these truths flow so easily to my mind. How is it that this happens, and yet for others these truths are so hard to grasp? I find them easy to understand and accept, but so many out there lie contrary to the truths that Christ showed us by His coming to earth. This is what's wrong with the world, that we hesitate to give ourselves over to things because we are afraid: afraid of being wrong, of being right, of following the wrong path, or following the right path. But there is no path! There is no picture that has everything rightly placed within it...only our conscience and our emotions, our feelings, hopes, dreams, desires, our interests, talents, and the things that we know about ourselves. And we have to operate on these. But let me tell you that letting God in allows us to see ourselves in a whole new light and to understand new things about us, that carry us ever forward in our development. And the faith that God is up there waiting for us, desiring us to enter and become part of His kingdom, shows all of this to be important, but in the end we will have to let it go. So why hold on so tight? Why not give everything we have in this life, devote our time to friends and family instead of amassing things that will ultimately pass away. It is our choice and our decision, let us search for what makes us come alive, but always be ready to give that life for something that we believe in.
