April 30, 2017 – Truth

Before belief comes confirmation. But the question remains, "What are you founding your confirmation on?" Is it the voice of others, or the voice of the source? Do you seek the truth with an emptiness of self; or, do you confront the issues as one of superiority, not keeping room inside to learn? We have available to us truth given in traditions, history, and scripture. Before you trust in a rumor or hearsay, it is good to seek confirmation by going to the source of truth itself. Empty yourself of personal presumptions, ambition, or desire. In prayer and contemplation, with the Word opened before you, and the conviction of the Holy Spirit within, let God be your guide. In this, you will find truth. 

Blessed is anyone whose conscience brings no reproach and who has never given up hope. - Ecclesiasticus 14:2
