Deciding on truth can be tough, especially due to all the layers you have to drill through to get to it.
As a kid I was certain of many, many things. All kids went to church on Sundays. Most kids had awesome best friends like me. Most kids had loving parents and great siblings, like me. The reality was very different.
When mired in the muck of life, making correct choices can be so hard, that some people go through years of life without making a single one. Every decision is a mistake, or maybe just the big critical ones are. So at a certain point, recovering from those choices is such a long road that some folks fall off the edge and require rescue.
Have you been an angel for someone recently? I have made a career of it. I love stepping in to flip u-turns. I love crushing opposition. I enjoy being the reliable guy in the room. Are you like that too?
The best weapon is one you never have to use. I joke with my wife and daughter that I have a flaming sword in the backyard and a pair of wings hanging in the closet. Regardless of what the truth is...that is what my interpretation is. I perceive reality to be that truth. Is it correct? Well, does it matter? The truth is what the truth is. If I am anywhere close to correct, then I'm doing pretty good. At the worst I'm just more confident than I would be otherwise. And confidence is rarely bad.
Take a moment. Look around your reality. Ask yourself what the truth really is. Then see if you pick up anything you did not perceive before, and interpret that as if you are using the Eyes of Christ. Not seeing anything? That's okay.
It took Jesus a few years to get it right too.
