Truth or Lies?

| Posted on |

When you close the door on truth, you leave the light behind,

A shadow falls across your path, and confusion ignites your mind.

For every truth that’s locked away, a lying whisper will arise,

Because when you close the door on truth, you open one for lies.

The honest words you laughed at will echo in the dark,

While the entangling lies you now embrace will leave a lasting mark.

When you decide to shut truth’s shining door, closing it ever so tight,

Dishonest shadows will encase your heart, dimming truth’s holy light.

If the door to lies swings open, and beckons seductively wide,

Tempting your heart to quickly step inside,

Replace that temptation with God’s truth from above,

And rush away, to be filled with Jesus’s precious love.

So pause before you shut truth’s door, and its peace grows cold and dies,

For when you close the door on truth, you open one for lies.

(A poem written by Anthony Wayne Kalberg.)
