Today Sandpiper used John 17: 37 where Jesus says "Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice". Those of us that know the truth - that Jesus is the Son of God, and thus God, know of His kingly stature - not someone like Pilate, someone come to rule the world in an earthly manner.
And Sandpiper went on to say that if you know the truth (emphasis mine) - the truth owns you. I find this disturbingly appropriate this morning. Over the last couple days, I used the savings acct with my inheritance to pay a bill - off setting what I had spent for Keith's weather station and our fun trip to Va to be with Robin and family (and Mira and family). And in my haste when I made that transfer, I thought the amount in the savings acct was $5000 less that I thought I remembered it to be.
I have "fretted" over that for the last several days. Gone over my notepad of what I had spent the inheritance money on. My fear has been - since I deposited the $25,000, that I would "fritter it away" and not know/remember where it had gone. I wanted that money to "count for something". I guess maybe I thought it would devalue Florence if I could not account for my spending.
Well, after compiling what I could here at the house to verify my accounting for what I had spent, I was ready to confront the bank- so I actually took a minute to look again at the bank account on the web, and indeed, the truth was what I remembered. not what I thought I had seen - and as someone famous had said, that truth freed me from worry.
So, let there be two lessons from this - one, if I trust myself to know the truth, trust yourself/have faith in your intuitions. And, don't spend so much time worrying, double check the account - maybe I saw some number incorrectly. Enough said.
Faith in God, faith in myself. Gotta love it - and myself.
