If I believe that Jesus is my God who came to this world to tell the truth, no matter how difficult the situation is, I am sure his grace is always enough for me to be patient to find the truth. Word of God proves true. He is a shield to those who take refuge in him

We can be patient enough to seek the truth just by taking time to pause and pray for guidance. Sometimes, when we are in a hurry to discover something new, it often leads us to mistakes and disappointment. We tend to make decisions or steps that may be based from the peak of our emotion. Why pray? Praying helps us to calm down and take things slowly. That way, it somehow prepares ourselves to be ready for whatever truth awaits us.

Truth-seeking always starts with self reflection and acceptance. Doing our best with humility and empathy can help us be patient so that we can know God’s plan. We may need to repent and make sacrifices, which may sometimes lead to victory.

I was an impatient type of person before, but I prayed hard and sought his guidance regarding this attitude of mine. Now I can say that I have mellowed a lot. Whenever something goes wrong and I have doubts, I will make efforts to find out the truth in a patient way. I will ask questions to answer my doubts and if I need to explain my side in order to find out the truth I will do it in a polite way. We should not be offensive and analyse the whole situation before giving a comment. I believe that the truth will set us free.

We should not be in a hurry to judge. There’s always a way to acquire information by asking and searching. Do not be afraid during the process. We need to be patient as the truth will appear at the right time. Whatever will be the outcome, whether we like it or not, we should be prepared and be open minded. The result might be good or bad, but we must have faith and trust God that he will bless you with the wisdom to face it, for all things happened for a reason.

Truth is important. One’s purpose in knowing the truth determines his patience in undergoing the processes of seeking for the truth. Believing in what is untrue may spoil our plans or hurt others. Thus we must be thoughtful and consider the feelings of others. If we want to know the truth we need to spend time and exert efforts in seeking for the necessary details that makes up the whole truth. Reading, understanding and learning from the Bible is a sure help. Speaking the truth and doing things accordingly is always a good way to freedom.
On the other hand, honesty and truthfulness open new paths in the life of people. I think honest people have more to offer than people who create chaos with their gossips and false reports. Honesty will indeed bring good effects to families, communities, societies and the nation as a whole.
