There is a lot of conversation around the idea of truth and how to verify what is true and what is not.  Do we go with scientific proof?  Do we believe authorities?  Do we have to see it with our own ideas to believe it?  Can we really verify with our own faculties what is true and what is not?  I do not have any answers to these questions.  On my daily dates with God, I learned what I can do is tune in to my own heart.  All I really have is the moment I am in. I can make the best choice available to me as to what is true by connecting to the truth of who I am. The verification I am seeking comes as a joint effort of the whole of me. Something may seem to verify the truth with my eyes but my gut tells me there is something I am not seeing.  I may feel a sense of truth in my body but I need my mind to verify and give language to it.  All angles of truth however must be brought through the lens of my heart before a true verification can occur.  Through the lens of my heart, there is room for compassion and forgiveness of myself and others.  The heart knows how to bring balance to all elements of verification and hold the space of things unknown when no verification is possible.  Within our hearts is the grace to know that sometimes we must make choices before verification is possible and in those moments we draw from the verification present from our Creator which often defies our very understanding of verification.
