Truth (with a capital T)
What I desire for myself, and for those I pray for and those I love, is Truth (with a capital T).
We so often think that truth is a certain denomination, a certain lifestyle, a certain vocabulary, and that it fits neatly into a tidy little box.
But, real Truth (with a capital T), is not protestant or Catholic, it is not male or female, it is not rich or poor, it is not black or white or any color or any age. It is not western culture, or eastern culture, or any one culture. It is not rural or urban.
To know real Truth is to throw out all our preconceived ideas of what truth is, and to know only and utmostly that Truth is represented in the person of Jesus Christ, and that that Truth crosses all barriers and all boundaries.
We all have cultural and learned truths (with a lower-case t) by which we govern our lives and our faith. Those are fine and perhaps necessary. But, when it comes to the overall picture, and to the sharing our faith with others, we must all fucus on the one actual Truth.
