I have cousins and friends who hunt with bow and arrows. They honed their aim through much practice. 1 John 16-7 says that we hone our aim when we practice the truth. How does that work? 

Jesus said, “I am the truth…” in John 14:6. Therefore truth is a Person, not a fact. It is not print on a page, but rather a living relationship with our Creator. Genesis 1:26 says that He made us in His image. We have a capacity within us for fellowship ~ intimate communion with Him.

Meditated on 2 Corinthians 5:9. It says, “Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him.” Let’s pick up the context. Paul wrote that while we are present in our body, we are absent from the Lord. However, when we are absent from our body, we will appear face to face before the Lord.

Verse 10 says, “…that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.” Our aim? Pleasing Him now in every aspect.
