Are we adamant or aggressive to prove the truth or can we rather do it by displaying it?
The truth will inevitably reveal itself sooner or later to those who seek it.
Giving others the choice to enter into the truth in their own mind, in their own time, in their
own ability and not ours.
JOHN 21:22-23
Jesus said to him, "If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?
Follow me!"
23
The saying spread abroad among the brethren that this disciple was
not to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not to die, but, "If it is my will that
he remain until I come, what is that to you?"
Some need more time than others to receive the truth and some false beliefs are deeper
rooted than others.
We must exercise the patience and the faith for them to do so.
To not go by what we see, but to believe without a doubt that something is happening.
Our spirit can be trodden underfoot or it can be lifted up, depending on our
learned
responses.
Do we intimidate and bruise or love and heal others with our attempts?
Do we try to get others to take our side by discrediting the so-called losing party, to
win or satisfy the self?
Are our attempts life giving or are we stealing and killing others to be filled at their
expense?
We need to exercise the skills that will shift our ill viewed perspectives if we are to be a
benefit to others.
Why would we want to shift it?
To bring about a communication and mutual co-operation that works.
To accomplish a united progress, united, because without unity there is no progress.
All is exposed when we open our mouth.
The words we speak tell a story, the story of how we view our world.
Do we know that there is a powerful God that wants to work with us, a God that is for us, a
God that shows no partiality?
Are we quick to listen to what the spirit says or do we reply to others according to our
own imaginations?
Our emotional drive engages according to our beliefs.
If for example we were to look at a situation with two different viewpoints, the outcome of
our emotions would be different.
They would be different because of our conditioning.
The loss of a loved one (perhaps a sensitive example) but something that occurs, sooner or
later.
