The Reconciliation

A battered and beleaguered Soul, after his earthly sojourn stood before his Maker, seeking answers for the torment and trials he faced .

Asking the Lord why he was sent to the land below, ill equipped as he was ? Why he had been made to suffer, the indignity and torture of a human life ?

With assurance of constant care, he had set out with no fears, on the journey. But waiting on promises of prosperity, from above, all he had faced was untold misery and penury .

Why had he been formed, with frailty and error to repeatedly commit folly ? Why was he created to be his own enemy, unforgiving and full of regrets? Why had he not been bestowed the wisdom, the resilience, to survive the wicked world ? Relying on victory from heaven, he had endured only failure and defeat .

Filled with strife and grief , his life had been fraught with misfortune, his very existence on earth, questionable. He asked his Lord the reasons, for having been abandoned .

Smiling gently , the most High said, weep not son for you are my precious one. Each tear you shed I have counted, your grief I have shared . When you were alone, my arms enfolded you, it was I who befriended you .

It was my grace that absolved you, sustained you in your weakest moments. My light that saved you, even in your darkest hour. It was my hand that soothed your pain, touched your brow to heal you. I carried you through the raging storms and kept you safe beneath the shadow of my wings.

When all was lost, I consoled you, with fresh hope and new beginnings. When you found life overwhelming, I renewed your spirit with Mine. It was through your trials, I revealed my miracles, the power of love and faith, to you and those around. Above all, My salvation I gave and brought you safely home to Me.

Finally understanding the purpose of his life, liberated from the shackles of doubt and fear the soul was filled with immense peace. Ecstatic, he basked in the warm glow of Love that surrounded him, knowing this was his eternity.
