The second main aspect of God is Truth. God is not truthful but Truth itself, and wherever there is Truth, there is God. There are many things that are relatively true at certain times and places only, but God is absolute Truth at all times and in all circumstances. As soon as we touch God, who is the Absolute, relative things disappear.
To know the truth about any condition heals it. Jesus said, and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32).
You should realize God as Truth when you want information on any subject, or if you suspect that you have to deal with deceit. If you believe that someone is trying to deceive you, claim that divine Truth dwells in the person concerned, and is expressed through him. If you realize this clearly enough he will then speak the truth. When you have to transact any important business such as signing a lease or a contract, spend a few minutes realizing divine Truth and if there is anything you should know it will come out. Of course people may have no desire to deceive you and yet for some reason you may not be given the whole story. I know of several cases where serious misunderstandings were prevented because somebody realized God as truth and so all the facts were brought out. I know also of cases where intentional dishonesty was frustrated in the same way.
Truth is absolute reality, unlike subjective reality as we perceive it through our senses or intellect. Telling it is radical, living it is hard and finding it without realizing it is God is practically impossible. Yet, when we do accept God as truth in our lives, we are freed from all things that imprisons us. That includes the prison of subjective reality which falsely convinces us that we are bound by limitation, lack or fear.
How many times have we, in a quandary, asked ourselves, “what is the right thing to do, what is the truth or what does God want me to do and how can I possibly do it?” The answer to all such dilemmas are found in communion with God. When we become one with God through faith in prayer, thought or feeling, we access absolute reality. Then, God empowers us to understand the truth, gives us the courage to live it and will make all things in our lives subject to it. “All things” in the bible means “Neither, death nor life, nor angels, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord”. That’s everything, brothers and sisters.
May each of us fill our gardens with the truth that is God and enjoy the freedom from all the prisons of this world both internal and external, Amen.
In truth,
Z gardener
