Dear God,

"You will know the truth," you said, "and the truth will set you free."  But it will hurt first, I learned.  Piercing the flesh that holds the truth at bay is often very painful.  Yet, the subtle pains of living a lie every day always hurts more because it causes pain, grief, and sorrow down deep in the soul.

You have told me looking into our past can be an interesting trip down memory lane.  It can be filled with wonderful memories but eventually we have to tackle the unseen things, the dark corners, and the hidden places.  What lurks in the human soul can destroy little by little if the light is not shone there.

Through the course of many sad events, someone I know is finally taking the journey backward.  I really believe he will find the truth that will finally set him free, relieving his soul.  I believe he will discover new ways to let your light heal him.. I believe he will be made new.

Guide your child,
Lord,
take his hand,
I pray.
Lead him
to the truth
that can
liberate him.
Thank you
for love
that is greater
than any wound.

Yours, Andrea
