Understanding

My understanding of Truth deepens and directs my life.

My understanding of the truth has changed over time. I now see that there is ultimate Truth--the Truth of God--and there is my understanding of this Truth. Since "my truth" is subject to my perception at any moment, it changes as I grow in spiritual awareness.

Daily I am given opportunities to grow. Often, deeper understanding comes from simply listening--listening without judgment, without feeling a need to defend a position or change another's point of view. As I listen to others share their thoughts and feelings and as I attune to God in prayer and meditation, I find greater truth to guide my life. Through my spiritual unfolding, I move closer to discerning the Truth of God.

For the Lord searches every mind, and understands every plan and thought.--1 Chronicles 28:9
