While grinding down my brain about graduate school choices, one of my professors saw me “deliberating” about this in the hallway one day. I must have been deep in my head, and he expressed his concern. I told him I was struggling over a decision. He said, “God is in you. You can’t make wrong choices.” Later in life, I found that the seed of his wise counsel had grown. However, he could have put it this way, “You have a gut. Trust it.”
Just as I was starting my first teaching job years later, and penniless, I met with a financial advisor who told me that many of his wealthiest clients were teachers. I believed him and ended up financially secure. His advice resonated. Look it up, teachers are among the wealthiest retirees. That seed proved to be a big flowering of truth.
On another occasion, not long ago, another seed of Truth germinated. I asked my octogenarian friends what they would tell their younger selves if they could time travel. I had done this several other times with older people. Invariably, their advice had something to do with not being so reserved, cautious, or worried. Just go for it! That seed of Truth became floriferous.
Seeds of Truth take root, take off, and awaken. Great words resonate and grow. It might take a while, but you’ll learn what it means in 1 John: “He that is within is greater than He that is in the world.” This inner presence, which is viscerally resonate, guides and is never wrong.
But even so-called wrong choices found a profound benefit in my life. The seeds of Truth, which seem to come from “out there” are really small “ah-ha” moments of True Love awakening from within.
Does that resonate?
Consider this a Seed of Truth, then; and let it become floriferous.
