Truth within Me

I know that I exist,

but I cannot say how and why,

so I must come from Something

that is much greater than I.

The vastness and magnificence

of all that I see,

means that Something is powerful

and wise as can be.

I sense a conviction,

a deep intuition,

that Something is witness

to my every decision.

Something deeply cares

about the way in which I am,

and it wants me to be good

and nothing other than.

If Something is conveying

its expectations of me,

then it must be a relational

and personal Being.

And Something must be

how it wants me to behave,

for it would not stand against

what it demands I embrace.

I admit my existence

is far from perfect,

but I am not convinced

that I do not deserve it.

While I did not choose

to be ignorant and fragile,

I sometimes use my freewill

to do what is shameful.

I know my existence

will not stay in this state,

but what will determine

my impending fate?

I must trust what is good

and reject what is vile,

and confess I need help

for spiritual survival.

I must humbly seek

to know all that is true,

and repeatedly repent

for the wrong that I do.

If my story was hopeless

and doomed for damnation,

I would not exist

with hope for salvation.

If good power and wisdom

describes what made me,

then Something so magnificent

will surely save me.
