Staying in truth




The storm

Have you ever looked out of your closed window during a windy day? As we looked through the glass panel, we see trees swaying like nuts? How strong the wind were bending trees and flipping the outdoor rubbish around? It is natural that we will conclude, that, wow strong crazy wind out there.

My question is, how do we determine that, there's strong wind out there? We can't see the wind isn't it? All we can see is its impact.

The wind is the natural state of the environment formed by the movement of moving air. Just like our lives, when we get in touch with the truth of life, knowing the empowerment behind it, we experiences its impact in our lives.

But for the world today, truth are being twisted and mind of human being darken. The world had taught us to live a life of me myself and I. A life of everything is about me I and myself.

Why are you hurting me?

Why are you doing this to me?

Why are you not sparing a thought for me?

..... why you and ....... to me, for me and me me me me me . . . . . . . 

No one is spared in this Babylonia world we reside in. The systems of the world had darken our thoughts and causes us to build a self image upon how others look at us, what others say about us, and how others treat us. In return resulting us to live in the " Image" projection of how others value us upon.

Our faith level starts to rely on how others will react on, or how others will say about such or such issues rather than on the solid truth in life. Our faith goes on an attack when someone close to us, maybe our parents giving us negative feedback and doubts or people who judge us; gave a remark of what we didn't expect of.

We feel hurt upon what other say about us, and what others do that affect us.

It is natural that the sinful human nature is unwilling to accept the truth, having responses which isn't in the same direction with them, because no one likes to be corrected. 

No one likes opposition. The nature of human is very argumentative. For we like to prove ourselves right, its the pride of the human that turn our mind away from truth. The argumentative in built self in every one do not like to lose in a confrontation.

Even for a human mind, we argued within ourselves. Argument can never result in peace. But speaking the truth does. The truth of a human heart. The truth of a concealed problem. JESUS is mentioned in the bible as the Truth, the Way and Life. 

Our human mind is so deceptive and complex, layered by ample of lies, pride, principles taught by the world, judgement, critics, prejudices and insecurities. 

We have to learn to stay by the truth. The truth in life which tells us eat right, exercise right, rest right will result in a good way of life. TRUTH

Be kind, be gracious, maintain a good attitude, have the spirit of excellence at all times.
