We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life. |
“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” (John 16:13, KJV) --------------------------------------------- All humans have this need to know the Truth, that lasts their lasting quest. Confusion sets in deep, I trow, when buffeted by each new test. The many forms of hurt received when, as a child, we seek to trust. Despite they do, we feel deceived when childlike faith's reduced to dust. 'Tis here where some with nothing left reject the whole of spirit life. Where Hope is pummeled and bereft, internal workings know just strife. But others know "When less is all, the Truth is found in agony. I may not see the final call, but when it comes, Forever Free." So many truths, throughout the world, confuse the hearts of those who hear. The Banner sought will be unfurled when God in Wisdom makes it clear. Doth God Alone show Mercy's Choice? Do humans have something to do? Do Bible writers speak their voice? Or Holy Spirit each word True? The search for Truth oft causeth row, 'tween words seen writ and meaning dark. Our peace of heart in saddest bow doth paint the gale and shattered barque. The woods of trees, the misty path, the eyes made dim by fleeing sun. The Guide our need, the Way He hath, our Hope wrapped in The Living Son. by Jay O’Toole on June 19th, 2025 ![]() |
