Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32

Been thinking a lot about truth lately and asking the question, what is truth?

come to a few conclusions, one being that truth is the Word.. which leads me to another question, and i would like some dialogue on this for those of you who don't mind posting: what truths have set you free, be it revelations about God or words of scripture ?

Great question! For me it's a million Bible verses AT THE RIGHT TIME! It's a hand on the back or a the right word AT THE RIGHT TIME! The word may be spoken by a Christian or non-Christian...it doesn't matter...they may know they are speaking into your life or they may be completely oblivious...the word to me is when I hear God's voice...when my problems, pains, joys or victories are related to by the Holy Spirit through some physical manifestation.

yes, very interesting. The main person in the book I've been reading about a man in recovery talks a lot about truth. But it is truth as he sees it. He vehemently objects to any spiritual thought as truth. I can't find truth outside of the spiritual. The spriritual defines my truth. I know what truth is NOT. It is not fear.
Can truth be so different? I see God as being the totality of truth.

I am on a journey, searching for God and what that means in my daily life. It's not about constraints, it's not about limitations, but freedom. I know something exists beyond the visible. I live thinking about possibilities and what could be and the necessary steps to make things happen. I like long talks with a good friend, drinking tea, eating breakfast with my husband, going to a bookstore (they are the new libraries), cool mornings, windy days in the fall, learning about love and life from those who seem to have found their way, teenagers, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, long baths, and connecting with another heart. I am learning how to love, how to live, when to speak and when not to, when it's time to gather the stones, when it's time to let go, surrender, forgiveness, and discipline.
