GENERALIZED

You have to admire the ones who love to speak only in general terms, but act like it is a specific fact. And when you wade through it you appreciate there is some truth missing.

There are times when universal rules do have value. And philosophies have merit too. But the are not always beneficial.

On other occasions such approaches only add to problems. They do not improve a thing and few benefit from the process.

Perhaps it is all part of the fact that all of us harbor certain facts about ourselves that we feel a need to keep secret. Maybe to preserve some image.

That is easy to do in life. We can always find ways to avoid telling the truth. It doesn’t mean that the Lord doesn’t know just the same.

Last night I was reflecting on heaven. No special reason other than knowing my cancer had me thinking in terms of eternity more in a good way.

Well in my reflection one thing came to me. The idea that the walls are transparent. Which suddenly I came to appreciate meant there would be no secrets in heaven.

Not sure why that stuck in my mind, but it did. And it was truly a source of joy. Imagine how great it will be when what people say is really what they mean?

I can’t imagine that on this planet. There is so much confusion and distrust in life. And we know that Satan contributes to this fact.

For me though I welcome the uplifting idea of how the time will come when all that exists will be truth. It will be constant.

It can only be a blessing. And I will look forward to that reality. Some might not. But it also means that truth will exist within too.

That means having to see what is on the inside. And see how the Lord forgives and heals.

What a blessing that will be. I truly cherish this reality. And with it comes a peace we can never know in this life.

Perhaps some can. But not all. And for those who can well I imagine the transition will be extra hard.

And the nice part is how often they don’t know this will not be a choice. Except for those who rejected the idea in the first place.

At least in the way the Lord shared that they wouldn’t accept.
