Somewhere In Between

Life is found in the in between. In between good and bad, love and hate, joy and pain, hope and despair.

Truth is Relational

Posted by Jordan on October 30, 2006


Truth is Relational.
There is no truth outside of relationship.
God exists in relationship.
All things exist in God.
All things exist in relationship.
Truth is known and experienced and developed within relationship.
To know truth is be in relationship.
Deception is the evidence and casuse of broken relationship
One’s ability to be in relationship with others determines one’s ability to know/experience truth.
Everyone relates differently.
Everyone experiences relationships differently.
Everyone knows and experiences truth differently.

Absolute truth is being in relationship with all things.
God exists in relationship with all things.
For everything that exists, exists in God.

In our context truth is a word that conjures up ideas of boundaries, exclusion, friend and foe.
What if truth inspired possibility, creativity, relationality, unity expressed in diversity?
What if to be true, was to be open, to be inviting, to be humble?

Relationships are a context in which our deceptions are laid bare: hatred, mistrust, envy, lust, power, greed.
All of these deceptions are defined by how one relates to something.

Relationships are a context in which truth can be experienced: love, acceptance, patience, trust, humility, service.

A true person is one who can relate to all things with love, for that is how God relates to all things.
