Understanding

1 John 5:20
"We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true-even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life."

So recently God has been kinda given me the realization of how important UNDERSTANDING is. Especially the understanding between people in relationships. I believe that understanding is one of the main foundations under God that holds a relationship together. If there is no understanding between two people, there is dissenion until there is an understanding. So it's majorly important. In my eyes at least. so I've been realizing this, and then the other day I read this verse.
and this is what I wrote in my journal concerning it...(i dunno if i took it correctly or not but I really felt God kinda opened my eyes to this and was rather excited!)

"God has given us understanding..so that we can know Him...the true one! Understanding is for the sole purpose of knowing God more and better. Even in relationships. All understandinng is to know Jesus. So when we are understanding, we are knowing Jesus and showing Jesus...
With understanding in relationships, there is love, no matter what, and that is Truth. That is Jesus. All understanding, all love, all relationships are from God and for God. Understanding is to know the True One. So when we have it, we can know the true one and thats why in relationships, when there is understanding between persons the relationship is so much better cuz it is based on Truth and we are being Jesus, knowing Jesus and loving Jesus."

I hope this makes sense. My mind sometimes likes to make things complicated. But im really excited about this realization of how important understanding is...in every aspect of our lives! with God, with relationships.
I just think its so cool...we have understanding so that we can know Him who is True. May we remember that. and in our relationships...may we have understanding...may we put Jesus in them!
