'finding good in everyday life'
“What is truth?”
Pilate asked Jesus this very question. John 8:38
Truth will not force itself upon you. It will present itself to you.
You can seek it out and you will find it.
If you don’t want to see the truth, you won’t.
It will hide from you, and you will hide from it.
But, if we seek the truth and know it, it will set us free.
What would it feel like to be free? Really free…From those little secret things we don’t like, but keep doing anyway because we don’t think we have a choice.
Can’t do something fulfilling and meaningful?
Can’t work on a job I enjoy?
Can’t be my best self at work?
Can’t speak out my creative ideas?
Can’t find people who like what I like?
Can’t find what I like to do?
Can’t live where I want to live?
Can’t make a change in my life?
Who said these things? Is it really true? Do I have to believe it?
…or could there be something better…some other way?
Am I powerless over my own life, to cherish and challenge it, to develop it and succeed?
Is it pride to think or desire to do these things, or is it my fears trying to hold me back…keep me safe…and from what?
Because if I hold back, not only will I be held back, but by my example I hold others back.
I believe we need to think forward and move forward, constantly getting better, making better and doing better.
They said the Golden Gate bridge could not be built, but there she stands…decades later, the result of one man’s turning others ‘can’ts’ into ‘I can’!
Where do we need to take away the ‘t’ in our lives?
Because you will find it.
This goes either way…positive or negative.
Friends or enemies
Help or aloneness
Abundance or lack
People doing right or people doing wrong
Thankfulness or cynicism
Encouragement or criticism
Faith or skepticism
A way through or a way out
Courage or fear
Solutions or problems
Love or hate
Be on the lookout for what you want. You will find it.
