Man’s thought process is often based on his perception of
past events. When enough patterns
emerge, he uses them as templates for like circumstances. Men that develop expertise in learning
patterns seem logical, but they are not; they are intuitive. Intuition informs oneself through the
patterns found in past experiences.
Every man’s experiences are not viewed entirely in
truth. A child will see things from a
self-centered view point. As the child grows, so do his opinions change about
how he sees things. For example, a child’s
perception of the love of others will be based on having his desires met. An adult, however, will judge love on new
criteria, for he has learned the blessing of giving and providing as well as
receiving.
A man who is born again, by God’s Spirit, has the
opportunity of being informed by the Spirit of Truth. Truth knows no time and therefore can reach
into past memories, giving God’s perspective on events and intentions. Truth can mentor a man with lessons that will
mold him into the image of God. Truth
can correct a man’s mistakes in honesty, without an agenda. Truth is the gift that causes a man to base
his perceptions on God’s viewpoint and live his life a new way. Truth will cause a man to truly know himself,
and to come into God’s opinion of himself, his life, and the life he shares
with others.
As children of God, we should seek Truth. For those who do not have the baptism of the
Holy Spirit, seek Him for this, for it will change your life. Amen.
