Sojourner Truth

I read Sojourner Truth's Narrative recently, and something has stuck in my head that really moved me.

First of all what an amazing soul. What an amazing woman who was way ahead of her time. God really blesses the world when he puts a soul like that on it.

Anyway, what I want to share is because of the fact that she could not read she would employee adults and children to read to her. What is interesting is at one point she completely stoped employing adults to read to her. You see when she would ask the adult to read the passage a second time the would give their interpretation to her. This hurt her. First of all they probably assumed she was not bright enough to understand. And even more of the reason that I find profound is that ADULTS ARE RIDGE AND CAUGHT UP IN THEIR ON INTERPRETATIONS!

Children on the other hand would read the passage again and again without adding their "2 cents". I think that is what Jesus Christ meant when he said "only those who are like children can enter the Kingdom of God"!

So let us remember that in daily life. Let us not be rigid in our own beliefs be open minded and understand that we do not know it all. Take it like this, everyone we meet knows something we don't, so be a student of everyone! Now I obviously don't mean believe everything you hear, but simply dont' rule it out immediately. Take in new information process it and throw it out if it is useless, but utilize it if it is wroth it...
