Whispers of Conscience: Unveiling Truth in the Tapestry of Life #16

Whispers of Conscience: Unveiling Truth in the Tapestry of Life In the tapestry of life, so vividly sewn, Lies the stark truth, too often unknown. Laws of men, a facade so grand, Mask the essence, like shifting sand. These human edicts, so cold and bare, Ignore the spirit, unaware. They cage our actions, but not our thought, In conscience’s realm, they matter naught. Yet, free will whispers, in silent grace, Beyond the law’s cold, impersonal face. In the heart's chambers, where truth resides, Conscience, unshackled, ever guides. For laws are shadows, mere illusions, Breeding confusion, and delusions. They blind us to the deeper call, Of conscience, the true judge of all. In this dance of life, so falsely led, By man-made laws, we're often misread. But listen close, to the heart's soft plea, Where conscience reigns, the soul is free. False is the law, a mere pretender, Next to conscience, warm and tender. It's here, in quiet introspection, We find our will’s true direction. So, break free from legalistic chains, Where falsity of law, no longer reigns. Let conscience lead, in its quiet thrill, Guided by a force, beyond our will. In this enlightened state, so bright, Conscience and free will unite. In harmony, they dance and twirl, Illuminating life’s every swirl. In this realm, where true self is found, Laws of men no longer bound. Here, in the spirit’s vivid embrace, We find our true, eternal grace. -Written by Steven G. Lee (December 16, 2023) "Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven" (Lk. 6:37).
