I have this wonderful wife named Cindy. Recently we have been in conversation about the marvelous attributes of God. She has shared with me how God has been teaching her the value of praising Him for these attributes which He thankfully reveals to His children. For my May meditations, I want us to think about truth and how it is revealed to us. I share with you a couple of quotes from a book entitled Harvest of Gold.

“The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is a knowledge of our own ignorance.” — Spurgeon

Ethel Barrymore, a Queen of the American theater, was once asked the secret to her peaceful life. She replied, ”You must learn day by day to broaden your horizon. The more things you are interested in, the more you enjoy, the more things you are indignant about---- the more you have left when anything happens. You must learn above all not to waste your soul and energy just on little things… I suppose the greatest thing in the world is loving people and wanting to destroy the sin and not the sinner… And not to forget when life knocks us to our knees, that’s the best position to pray. That’s where I learned truth.”

“Give me liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience above all liberties… Though all the winds of doctrine were let loose to play upon the earth, so Truth be in the field, we do injuriously, by licensing and prohibiting, to misdoubt her strength. Let her and Falsehood grapple; who ever knew Truth put to the worse, in a fee and open encounter?” — John Milton
