Darkness has nothing new. Time is His creation to test a souls desire, be it giving or taking. Buy the truth, and do not sell it, Also wisdom and instruction and understanding. ~ Proverbs 23:23 Eyes on the prize catches the glory. Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. ~ 2nd Timothy 2:15 Each of us has a piece of realities puzzle.

He who walks uprightly, And works righteousness, And speaks the truth in his heart; ~ Psalms 15:1-2 Home is a state of mind either experienced by the freedom or relief it gives verses a prison of confinement in drudgery that steals peace in heart. It is the heart that defines home no matter location. We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. ~ 1st John 4:6 What makes a godlily spirit is one who is willing to listen; to not deny or dismiss, fairly discussing God’s Word. Many who claim religious superiority are unwilling to yield stubborn opinions of man or woman’s doctrines over simply submitting to the plain Word. Man manipulates through complexity where God’s message is that of the simplest of requests, obey. Hard to apply in a world of temptations and deception. It is the nature of many to judge and complain, and avoid, while not listening, and in this one can see the spirit of error or willingness to examine His truth. Alignment is right when with God and not dogmatically rigid to man’s devising. This is when people drink poison laced Kool-Aid, burn to death in buildings, and commit suicide in beds wearing white tennis-shoes, while waiting for a passing comet; God does not call for fanatics. "But let your Yes' be Yes, and your No, No. For whatever is more than these is from the evil one." ~ Matthew 5:37 The truth has no confusion.

Too often spite can bite and without remorse, love may not have its’ healing influence. God will review the entirety of all of our puzzle pieces done in the flesh. The flesh is given to expose the heart. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. ~ 1st John 1:8 To leap away from the truth is to embrace deception where there is no transparency. Light is what is seen over anything hidden in the dark. It can sometimes be hard to see or admit the truth. For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. ~ 2nd Corinthians 13:8 Putting truth together has been the struggle of all generations.
