I think that it is inherent in human beings to seek the spiritual, something that transcends the physical world that is visible to our eyes. But in our search for the transcendent, we often make things more complicated than they’re supposed to be.
We want rituals and secret words and long ceremonies. We try to discover what only the wisest of men could possibly comprehend.
I guess we can’t believe something is true unless that truth involves a lot of difficult ideas. We can’t believe that truth can be so simple even children could understand it.
And so truth could be right before our eyes and we refuse to see it. Truth could be pursuing us, but we refuse to be found.
Why think that truth is that hard to grasp?
If it’s the truth, it should be evident, it should be seen all around you. The mountains, the clouds and the seas should proclaim it. The very ground you’re standing upon should possess it.
The truth is within you. But you need to be silent enough to hear it, humble enough to receive it, and thirsty enough to let it satisfy your soul.
“At that time Jesus exclaimed, ‘bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to mere children.’” – Matthew 11:25, WEBBE
