“Pursue Truth” - Mike Ashcraft | Eyes to See, Part 2

In our journey through life, we often find ourselves navigating a complex landscape of emotions and beliefs. It’s crucial to recognize that while our feelings are valid, they don’t always reflect the full truth of a situation. Our emotions, powerful as they are, can sometimes float freely without a solid anchor, leaving us feeling adrift. This is why it’s essential to ground our feelings in something more substantial - a foundation of truth. Interestingly, we humans have the remarkable ability to create realities based on what we believe, even if those beliefs aren’t entirely accurate. This underscores the importance of seeking genuine truth, which, at its core, is deeply relational. It’s not just about cold facts, but about connections - with ourselves, others, and ultimately, with God. No matter where we find ourselves on this journey, God extends an invitation to trust Him from that very spot, without preconditions. As we learn to distinguish between fleeting emotions and enduring truth, we discover that real truth is life-giving. It doesn’t just inform us; it transforms us, bringing vitality, purpose, and a sense of grounded freedom to our lives.
