The Light and Darkness

 

PART XXII

We all will be taught by our Heavenly Father 

The truth is a treasure is hidden in Jesus Christ. The more we seek it, the more we find it. Only through the grace of God we can find the truth, know the truth and experience the truth. The more you closer to Jesus to seek the truth, you will be rewarded abundantly from His Kingdom. The ultimate truth is the Word of God. The word of God has a tremendous power. ‘Consecrate them in the truth; your word is truth’ Jon 17: 17. It is the Truth that leads us to eternal life. Jesus tells us: ‘I am the way; I am the Truth and Life. No one can come to the Father except through me.’ (Jon 14: 6)  With out Jesus the Truth we cannot approach the Father. When the real Truth comes into our heart the real light will come into our spiritual life and the darkness will fade away. 

  This was the truth I was looking for, and I discovered it when I looked for it. First and foremost, I was eager to discover the reality of the faith. There were numerous denominations in my ancestral family and among my friends. My parents were constantly misled by various forms of spirituality and teachers, and they were frequent visitors to my home. However, I never liked or paid attention to them. This was always on my mind: which is the true church and faith? Or my mind was wondering who the true deity is in this world; everyone believes that their deity is the true God. Then I married a Catholic girl, which was also part of God's plan. That is something I am extremely grateful to God. 

Then, in 1991, both of us decided to attend a retreat at Divine Retreat Centre. The first withdrawal had no effect on me. The following year, we attended the second retreat, and as a result, I quit smoking and drinking totally. I visited numerous spiritual centers and retreat centers to discover how to approach God. God has helped me to learn so many spiritual topics and many ways to approach Jesus. According to the Bible, we all will be taught by God .  John 6:45 (NJB): It is written in the prophets: They will all be taught by God; everyone who has listened to the Father, and learnt from him, comes to me. In the same way when we listen to the Father in Heaven by obeying His Commandments will meet our Lord in His appropriate time to lead a holy and perfect life..
