Definitions

What is TRUTH, really?
          The things we see
           Shaped in images before our eyes
           A philosophy fitting in our heart
           Or is it really,
           A light in the darkness,
           An all consuming omniscience.
           God.



What is FORGIVENESS, really?
            Regret of actions past
            A humble attempt to reconnect,
            An added veil to look through. 
            Or is it really,
            Deletion as if it never happened
            On a hard drive that never existed;
            A gift we can give to ourselves.
            The Cross


What is TRANSFORMATION, really?
            A change of direction,
            An extreme make-over.
            Or is it really,
            Tangible grace,
            Sanctification in motion,
            Holy Spirit
 
What is LOVE, really?
           A warm and fuzzy feeling,
           A thought of intense care.
           Or is it really,
           A free gift of Eternal Hope,
           A passion for all of humanity, 
           A baby in a manger.
           Emmanuel, God with Us.
