There is a lot of talk about finding truth—or not finding it—or it can’t be found—or . . .

Truth is hard to find when we make ourselves hard to find.

A good illustration of the riddles on the present-day merry-go-round for truth is the game of hide-and-seek.  Like little children, we pretend that truth is hiding, but instead of going to look for it in all the obvious places, we say truth can’t be found, and go hide ourselves where we think truth can’t find us.  Then we even say (or shout), “I’ve found it—this is my very own truth.  Now, if everyone else will just keep their own new-found truth from interfering with my truth, we will live happily ever after.”

So, then, what happens when Truth gets done waiting for them to come looking for Truth, and Truth appears beyond all denial, and Truth is not happy?

 

When truth is presented, and we don’t like it, we’d rather say it doesn’t exist than be accountable to it—especially it that “it” is Someone—especially if “it” is God.

“You shall seek me and find me, when you search for me with all your heart.”

God is not hidden from us, unless we try to hide from Him.  How foolish then to blame Him for being hard to find.  How foolish then to say that truth cannot be found.

One day God will say to all of us, “I told you everything you need to know to find truth, to find me.  I shouted it with such volume to overwhelm your senses and your telescopes and your microscopes and your brain.  I made the details of the world, the universe, to repeatedly blow you away with new discoveries of phenomena that were there all the time.  I made you with incredible ability to create almost miraculous stuff, all the while using the materials and equipment and laws of the universe that I put into every single atom from day one (yes, day one through day six, just like I said, in writing).

“And, [God still talking] I put it into your heart to need to know me.  And you can, if you will.

“And, I gave you my Son.  And He really gave it all, for you.  He is The Truth, and He said so.

“And, I will hold you accountable—now, and on your last day.”

 

If you want to find truth, it’s not hard to find—if you don’t try so ever-blooming hard to not let it find you.

Don’t try so hard to not let Jesus the Truth find you.
