Since God’s love is the bedrock from which we build our foundation,
we need to look at what is true about God’s love. We need to stare into the
darkness that begins to grow in our hearts and search out what is true versus
and what we’ve believed that is not true. It’s one of the hardest things we can
do, because seriously, we believe what we believe because we’ve already weighed
it and reckoned it as true.
We may add faulty rock to our foundation when we incorrectly
weigh the ingredients. Perhaps a lie has been justified because we were wronged
and we overcompensated for a thought we wanted to believe, to somehow ease the
pain we’ve suffered.
If, for example, in high school, my boyfriend cheated on me,
I may overcompensate in the part of my heart that was broken, by assessing the ‘fact’
that all guys cheat and reckoning it to be true, thus easing my own burden of
heartache. I might justify his betrayal by asserting that it had nothing to do
with me, or our relationship, it’s just something guys do. Or I might hide
behind the ‘fact’ that all young women go through this. By doing this, I’m
laying foundation in my heart that sets me up for future heartbreak and faulty
baselines for relationships that have nothing to do with this guy.
The truth
is, all guys don’t cheat. So, I’ve lowered my expectations and may now settle
for the kind of guys that do, because I allowed myself to believe this lie in
order to protect my heart.
Does this make sense?
It’s normal to discover a protective mode early in life, and
in it we set boundaries that are based on lies. As we continue to experience
life in an imperfect world, we add to our foundation based on how we interpret
what we’ve experienced, no matter how faulty that interpretation is.
So how do we discover what is true? Some might say that what
is true for me is not necessarily true for you. That’s like me insisting that
as time goes on, the world becomes blurrier. The world is a place of concise
lines and beautiful detail – for everyone that doesn’t need glasses. Since I wear glasses to see that precision, it’s
a fallacy for me to assert that now the world is blurry for everyone. To remedy
this situation, I simply put on my glasses.
When it comes to matters of the heart, we see through distortion.
The lens we need to see truth is God’s Word. When we read the Bible daily,
whether we understand it all or not, our everyday life begins to clarify, just
like my world comes into focus when I put on my glasses. Then, and only then,
can we build on a secure foundation, a foundation of Truth.
“Jesus saith
unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me.” ~ John 14:6 (KJV)
