Let Truth Guide.

“What counts is your life.” -Matthew 3:10

It is a beautiful day when we realize our opinions don’t define us or make us right or wrong. Our successes and failures do not define us. The people we know do not define us… It is who we are… better put, it is whose we are that defines us. Are we willing to let Truth be our guide – surrendering to His Spirit – or are we rooted in Self, proclaiming our own God?

“He saw more clearly than before what he had been learning ever since she had renounced him, that it is not correctness of opinion – could he be sure that his own opinions were correct? – that constitutes rightness, but that condition of soul which, as a matter of course, causes it to move along the lines of truth and duty – the life going forth in motion according to the law of light: this alone places a nature in harmony with the central Truth. It was in the doing of the will of his Father that Jesus was the son of God – yea the eternal son of the eternal Father.“ 

“Nor was this to make little of the truth intellectually considered of the fact of things. The greatest fact of all is that we are bound to obey the truth, and that to the full extent of our knowledge thereof, however little that may be. This obligation acknowledged and obeyed, the road is open to all the truth – and the only road. The way to know is to do the known.” -George MacDonald
