Principle Matters

Description

Today, we reflect on the power of principles in shaping our lives. Truth exists on a continuum—from personal opinions to verifiable facts, and ultimately to divine principles that guide us. As Swedenborg teaches, real truth becomes transformative when we adopt it as a principle, leading us to a life centered on love for the Lord and charity toward others (Secrets of Heaven §2385). These principles, rooted in God’s order, not only shape us spiritually but also serve as the foundation for civil society. When we recognize the unshakable goodness within every person, as Swedenborg describes our inmost being, we begin to navigate life with greater purpose, compassion, and clarity.
