There is only one Way, one Truth, and one Life. Our lives are to be dedicated to seeking Him. None of us are capable of knowing everything about Him. Our life's pursuit is to try to understand only what He has revealed to us and to follow Him.
None of us see Him or the world through the same lenses. We view everything through our own unique experiences and perspectives. As a result, our perspectives are limited. The trouble is that we view the world and view God through our own limited perspectives and assume that what we see is all there is.
It is disastrous to assume that all we can see is all there is because we are missing out. Just as disastrous is when we try to force our limited perspectives on others. Instead, we should be sharing our perspective on God and the world and have an open-mind to hear another perspective on the same things. This doesn't necessarily mean that you have to buy into everything you hear, but two or more people earnestly seeking the Way, the Truth, and the Life together can really sharpen each other.
This blog is simply about God and the world through my lenses. Feel free to offer your thoughts any time.

This brings to my mind the scripture about seeing through the glass darkly but one day, we will see and understand clearly. It sure would be nice if we could know on this side of heaven, without doubt, what Jesus expects and wants from us and act accordingly.
