Pilate therefore said to him, Are you a king then? Jesus answered, You say that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice. ~ John 18:37
Taking time to listen before rushing to judgement enables the patient person to understand that before judging, there is an awareness that we are in no position to place our selves in the seat of judgement.
Transformation is a life long process providing the honest person with the daily task of learning that out of human imperfection, a better person can emerge when following the call of The Saviour, to face the truth staring us in the face when ever we surrender any thought that we know all worth knowing.
The fictional life may well provide all the stories that we may ever need to impress the world, while deluding our selves into believing all that brings us some measure of satisfaction.
Finding our way entails coming to terms with our flaws, sufficient to want to change to improve the self that has long lived in denial of the truth, even now inviting each of us to hear His voice dwelling in our deepest thoughts.
The inner person speaks plainly during our moments of silence, when we are at peace with the world asking us to let Him show us how best to live in celebration of the life that He has granted us to become His outreach to all who need His loving assistance.
Our daily reality obscures the truth always in view when ever we make the effort to remove the mask that our fictional life provides to escape from the truth.
“...reality, however utopian, is something from which people feel the need of taking pretty frequent holidays....”
