The Word You Are Looking For Is Truth

We string together words to create meaning,

desegregating ancient syllables in an effort

to communicate, each new sentence unique

in structure. Language is no barrier, but a bridge

between minds, spanning across space and time,

aligning one thought with another, and imitation

is simply a reflection, an echo of a former glory

sounding and resounding throughout history,

binding one generation to the next. Originality

is but a genuine conversation bearing the mark

of experience, exerting influence over an area far

greater than one's immediate surroundings, imbued

with the ability to persuade, to lead, or mislead, as one

blind leads the blind; those who have bound them-

selves unknowingly to one lost and struggling

simply to keep his head above water cannot help

but follow, sinking ever deeper into the snare of des-

pair placed before them by one altogether unaware of

his present condition. But what of the One whose words

radiate truth, who speaks of being a Light in the darkness, a

Shepherd to His flock, to all those who hear His voice and

believe, who hold tight to His promise of eternity,

of life everlasting? For He holds the key to heaven,

His words a fountain of living waters flowing into the

hearts of those who receive Him, giving sight to the blind

and restoring all who are broken and hurting, pouring out

His rest upon the weary and calling the wicked to re-

pentance, into right relationship with the Father,

who originally spoke the universe into existence,

and whose Word became flesh and dwelt among us,

bringing us the Way, the Truth, and the Life, all three

One and the same, to lay the foundation for thousands

of years to come, the cornerstone of a life complete

in Him, and these are His words to us, a letter of

love in two parts, and the order is of utmost im-

portance - love Him first with all that is within us,

and then one another, in the same way that He first

loved us. You see, this covenant is a reflection of His

majesty, the unending echo of eternal love proven

true by the blood of His Son as He hung upon

the beams of a cross, bearing the weight of the

world upon His shoulders, this undeserved curse

the consequence of our sins, of our unwillingness

to set ourselves aside and look to Him for guidance.

We are His creation, created for perfect communion

with Him, our hearts bearing the mark of His image,

the unique capacity among every living thing to

love, and be loved in return, and it is His Word

alive in us that works all things together for

our good, that our lives might bear witness

of the splendour and glory of His existence. In

Him, we are a new creation, dead to our old trans-

gressions and alive to His eternal mercy, our hearts

bearing the mark of the Word made flesh, the Spirit

of One whose tongue is imbued with a truth more

powerful than any earthly being has ever spoken

before or after, the perfect revelation of the heart

of the Father, His love reflecting love re-

flecting unending love for all of eternity

spent in absolute unity with Him.
