Some truths can be possessed, mastered, memorized and remembered.
Some truths are silent companions. They are always there for us, and, when needed, without a word, leap to action.
Some some truths come and go as they please. We can try to recall them, but they do not always answer, and when they do return to us, it is the furthest thing from an act of obedience. We invite them to return. We keep the door open and the room clean. We welcome them home, dote on them, and hope they choose to stay with us.
