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
