Window


Have you ever been looking out the window?
Staring, hoping to find something real
Longing for something, that is true
Trying to find something, that explains
I have…
I don’t find truth
I get bored staring out finding nothing
No answers… yet



So I turn, looking around my room   
The TV talks about aliens
I laugh
The schoolbooks talk about religion
I laugh
The newspaper claims truth
The scientist claims truth
Whom to believe?



My eyes find their way back to the window
Asking with a careful voice:
“Is there any truth out there?
Which doesn’t have to say it is?
But truly is?”
Darkness closes in
A teardrop finds its way down my cheek
Hitting my lips



A salty taste
Makes me more thirsty for truth
The stars are looking down at me
A TV program tells me how huge the universe is
Even the world is enormous to me
I feel so small
I am just a little man, out of billions of others who have lived here
Am I nothing?



A thought is born in me
“I am a piece in a puzzle
I’m needed…
Who needs me?
Where do I fit in the puzzle?”
Something grabs my heart
A feeling of love comes upon me
Indescribable love



I fight
I fall down, I cry
“What is this? Who is there?”
Comfort and peace fill me
A voice speaks
“I am your father, you are my child.
I have not left you alone; I am with you.
My beloved!”



Truth has hit me
Straight in the face
I never expected it
Different from anything I could imagine
Unconditional love
He blows life into His love letters
The word of my father, a dusty book laying on my shelf
I start to read



My brain struggles to understand.
My deceived heart
Corrupting His word
Love breaks the walls down one by one.
It frees my thoughts taken captive by evil
I see the false, I embrace the truth!
It hurts, joy, indescribable… Love!
I am loved!



This is truth!
