Preparing the Mind to See Truth

By Rev. John Clifford, D. D.

The greater care we take to free the mind from selfish bias, personal prejudgment, hardness, want of spiritual sympathy, the more likely shall we be to see the truth. “The integrity of the upright shall guide them.” A holy purpose keeps an open road between the soul and God.
Add to these precautions and qualifications strenuous toil and daily communion with God, and though we may never wholly escape mistake and error, yet we shall enjoy a growth in capability to read the will of God, which will register itself at once in the radiant holiness of our lives, and in the satisfying and strengthening convictions of our minds that we are possessed of the thoughts, and sure of the voice of the Spirit of God.—Rev. John Clifford, D. D.
