The number one question these days has to be, “What is truth?” And depending upon who you ask, I’m sure their definition of truth would be entirely different from yours. Should you consider to take the opportunity to “study and show yourself approved by rightly dividing the WORD of TRUTH” (the Holy Bible which is the Word of God) you may, just possibly, learn to embrace and accept what many believe to be the only truth. But first you have to be willing to believe (in your heart) in the power and existence of THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY GHOST. Then you must walk in faith thus leaning to that truth and hope against all hope that all things are possible with and through HIM who has the authority to give man dominion on earth. And whatsoever is true is also righteous; void of man’s interpretation or personal views.
That which is perceived as truth by one may not speak to another’s reality as they know it. For most truth to be real to them, they have to experience it; touch it and/or see it. However, because one has not experienced it for themselves, does not mean it is not true. Nonetheless, because the mental psychic is very powerful and delicate, we must take into consideration the experiences one has encountered in an attempt to understand how and why an individual thinks in the manner in which they do to be able to objectively introduce another truth. If you are not willing to humble yourself and your approach, (absent of the Spirit of Offense, but gentle), you have only served to impose more damage to that person’s mind. Meaning you will never get through!
People are a product of their up-bringing. Their behavior, mannerisms, and actions are all dictated by the influences (people, places and things) within their environment. What they have been exposed to or the lack of exposure in certain areas contributes to their way of thinking. Some are honest about their lack of knowledge in certain areas while others may attempt to over compensate through their actions in pretending to know what they do not know. Some are very resourceful at making attempts to research and learn out of interest to educate themselves while others become very comfortable with their state of mind and avoid change at all cost. The over compensators tend to fall in this last category. They are normally the ones who tend to exert their power and authority (earned or unearned) very disrespectfully through bullying.
HOW DO YOU DEFINE ACCOMPLISHMENT?
Prior to and without the revelational knowledge of God, I saw my life and the things of this world through the eyes of man with rose colored glasses. Then I learned, I cannot love the world, see it clearly and have no desire to please God. How can I aspire to meet man’s objectives which are more subjective in nature and serve to honestly - with the greatest of integrity - please God at the same time? Everything within me is calling me to live my life much differently and in absolute truth and freedom of what is projected around me.
