“The word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.” John1:14
Truth Comes
How elusive is truth
as elusive as a gentle breeze
brushing across your face
snippets in our thoughts are found
revealing secrets of life
evidence.
But something within diminishes this truth
it is not fully known.
Our minds and experiences manipulate
and conclude with our own
version of truth-
But only God is truth.
We can rationalize away
thoughts and actions
but this doesn’t make it truth-
Only God is truth.
A case can be made to accept
what is or is to come
but this does not make it right
or true-
Only God is truth.
We can fill our lives with beliefs
and objects of affection
believing that this will complete
but it only competes.
In the end
only God can fill those places-
Only God is truth.
Our hopes and dreams drive us to search
for an ultimate meaning to life
to search for that which
will define who we are
but what we do means nothing-
Only God is truth.
Truth
can be elusive.
But when we search for it
with every fiber of who we are
and accept what is then revealed
only then
will we know for sure-
Only God is truth.
Soli Deo Gloria!

I love this poem! So thoughtful and captures our beliefs on truth so articulately. The form of the poem is beautiful too - it reminds me of the Psalms where an important line is repeated, eg “His love endures forever”.
