Knowing that you know

Karen Neff

“Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32). There is an inevitability of practicality implied in the first three words of this arresting statement by Christ Jesus, “Ye shall know.” Yet sometimes when we are seeking healing, the spiritual truth Jesus spoke of can seem elusive or just out of reach. What to do then?

What if we began our prayers by acknowledging that as men and women of God’s creating, we already know the spiritual truth of our being because God knows it? God, divine Love, would not deprive His creation of the ability to know His truth. Looking to God as Truth means looking to the origin and source of what we are and of all we need to know. This approach helps to eliminate any tendency to feel that we lack understanding and enables us to open our thought to God.
