Dear God,

You once said, "You will know the truth and the truth will set you free."  Tonight I received a phone call from a loved one who shared the truth with me.  Although I already knew the truth in my head, our talk confirmed the reality.  Once the words were spoken, we both knew we could never go back to the time when we did not know it.  We both cried because we were sad but we also knew we had reached a new level in our relationship.

Throughout my life with you, dear God, the words of truth have increased in their meaning and value to me.  Existing in my own world with false truth has never gotten me anywhere.  Somewhere along the line I would fall and stumble because the false truth eventually caused me to collapse.  It was then I had to open my mind and soul to the real truth.  As I entered the new awareness, I realized it was faith that ushered me to the new reality; I really was set free but with a new understanding of truth as it came to me.

As I reflected upon the phone conversation, I wept but I also gave thanks because you had not only opened my eyes but also the eyes of my loved one.  Although we may not have the same language to be able to speak this new freedom, nonetheless, it is a new day, a fresh new day full of possibilities.

Thank you
for the truth
that can
set us free.
Thank you
for mercy
that brings people together.
Thank you
for mysterious timing
that can alter
our lives forever.

Yours, Andrea
