Words of Truth

After I wrote the poem "The Light", I was amazed---where did these words, this wisdom, this proclamation come from...surely not from me...not from my mind? I then realized that they came from my heart (my God conscience) . Even though I was amazed at the words I had written I knew them to be the truth of my inner core...that knowledge I had as a small child...that fear I have had most of my adult life. I began my journey, my search for truth when I was 18 and from reading many, many books, including the Bible, I had never gained such truth as those few words had given me. My whole life took on a new meaning...to share the love the Light had shone upon me...to let the wonder of its aura shine from within me. Several years later that inner light diminished and darkness began to enter into my being...a darkness so great I could not see a shimmer of light. It was the worst time of my life. Why...because of that fear of the power within me--the Light of Christ. You see I had started trying to live my will rather than that of God and the light faded and darkness entered my heart and soul. It was a journey that I had to endure alone; oh God was with me all the time but I had to walk in darkness to find the Light again. However, the Light of Christ, which is within each of us, is like a beacon that guides the ship in the darkness until it finds its way home. Today I am grateful for the words of truth!
