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.
Some of the hardest truths to confront are the ones about ourselves. We may shy from these truths because they hurt. However, the truth is the best antidote to things about ourselves that bother us. Hiding from it, lying about it or beating ourselves up over it will only make them worse. When we face the truth about ourselves, we are freed form the burdens our weaknesses cast on us. God already knows our weaknesses. When we face and accept them, then we open the pathway for forgiveness if we but ask.
God is truth, and every time we abide in the truth, we abide in God. So today, let’s give ourselves a break in the truth. Then God will heal us and our door to the garden God created will swing open to greet us.
Truthfully,
Z gardener
