Be aware that to be free is to stray Out Of The Square, or the Fishbowl as it has been called.
Consider that other people through your life were not always right about what they told you no matter how much you trusted that person.
If your mind is open to the fact that you will be learning all your life and that there is still much to learn then you are able to keep receiving information and will keep growing spiritually. It is the closed mind that thinks that it knows all there is to know that refuses to look out of the square. Have a wonder and a love for life and you will always be learning and growing no matter what your age is.
A closed-mind that thinks it knows it all cannot receive information from God because that mind is only aware of its own knowledge and not of angels and of a Higher Being our God. These are the blind that lead the blind…
Matthew Chapter 5, verse 14: Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Luke Chapter 6, verse 39: And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?
Matthew Chapter 7, verse 18: A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Matthew Chapter 7, verse 19: Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
We will know the blind leaders by their fruit, either a lack of fruit or a rotten fruit. We should follow those who know what they are talking about and who are what we want to be. It is foolish to follow those who have led us constantly astray in the past. Learning is moving on to new learning’s and growth. The wise want the best for themselves. The wise want the best fro their children and grandchildren and that will only come if the wise learn and keep learning from good decent loving people who genuinely care.
