The facts are black and white.
Love is the colour.
When the facts are confusing, the situation chaotic, love makes sense of it.
We see more.
If you see people with love, you see them as God sees them, and that’s the truth. If you hate others, you might get the ‘facts’ straight, but the truth will elude you.
When you became a Christian did you know all the theory? What was your understanding of salvation? Could you have explained substitutionary atonement?
Not in their entirety.
How does it work for you?
Might it be that God’s love for you and your love for Him draw you together so that the gaps are filled in?
That’s faith.
And love.
And truth.
Who speaks truth to you?
Do you love the voice?
I hope it’s God.
