Truth Reconciled

Truth Reconciled
She stared at a blank page full of words. The only one that seemed to be illuminated for her personal demise was love. Then, as if warped into a 3 dimensional world taken from some unknown force, she blanked out. Her eyes were focused on the scene played out before her. She was dancing with a man who she had never seen, pleasing to the eye yes. He beamed into her face and a feeling of accomplishment consumed her. Then he disappeared. She hardly had any time to wonder where her mysterious companion went until someone else fulfilled his empty role. The beauty that He possessed was unlike any known to the human eye. His radiance and light was all too wonderful, she could do nothing but stare. Her feet were lifted off the ground as He took her by the hand. Then He placed one hand on the small of her back, and they began to dance effortlessly in the air. Feeling unusually comfortable in His arms, she laid her head on His broad shoulders. She had never seen Him but acknowledged His presence. He gazed into her face, fierce with emotion. The love He had for her pressed into her bosom, and yet the pain He felt weighed heavily onto her heart. A voice of many waters sang into her ears and she looked into the intriguing face. The voice sang: I kept you when no one else kept you, held you when no one else loved you, protected you when no one else protected you, knew you when no one else knew you, saved you when no one else could save you, and loved you when no one else loved you. Despite this knowledge you unknowingly attain, you continue to neglect Me. You deny My power and limit My love to a supernatural force that you believe cannot be attained unless in death. Your desire has been poured into a creature so unworthy of grace. Am I not all you have desired? Am I not the dream fulfilled? You have painted a picture with no colors. Naïve in your ways, I sustain my love for you. I will never leave you even when man will. At his last word the light and glory vanished with her companion. The sole movement was the travel of tears rushing in line to their destination. In fetus position, she longed for the unknown lover to make his return. Hours passed and He had not granted her the gift of his restoration. Agony consumed her and her heart could not bring bear the pain he had left. She suddenly heard the faint sound of a stream in the distance. The voice of many had waters returned unaccompanied by its owner. It said: Fear not, for I am with always with you, and I will love you for eternity. Back into conciseness she traveled, marveling over the true love of her life.

  1. This is lovely "You deny my power and limit my love to a supernatural force that you believe cannot be attained unless in death."

    That says so much, and speaks of God's power on so many levels, he is AWESOME!
