Truth from the heart

There is another kind of comfort, albeit difficult, maybe impossible to truly achieve.  That is the comfort of knowing that one's thoughts and actions are right.  It is as simple as that.  We know when we behave rightly, don't we?  At least most of us get close enough to some kind of right behavior occasionally in life.  When we do, we sense the relief that is provided by this kind of alignment with truth.  The Psalmist asks "who may dwell" in the Lord's tabernacle?  Domine, qui habitabit?

"Whoever leads a blameless life and does what is right, who speaks truth from the heart." (Psalm 15: 2)

That leaves most of us out, of course.  But it is the right answer and we know it.  The innate sense of right is another beacon of sorts that serves to guide us, to warn us, and to comfort us as we approach it.
