AUTHOR’S NOTE
Grace, God’s Will, and the Heart of Christ’s Message
God’s love reaches for us long before we know how to reach back.
His grace is not only forgiveness — it is an invitation into a new way of living.
Grace teaches us to:
Submit to God’s will, because His way brings clarity and peace.
Seek after Him, because the human heart is only whole in His presence.
Love our neighbors, because the love God pours into us is meant to overflow into the world around us.
This is the lesson humankind has always needed:
God’s love comes first,
God’s grace transforms us,
and a transformed heart learns to live out His compassion.
This is the heart of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The poem that follows reflects this movement —
from confusion to truth,
from captivity to the way of freedom,
from dryness to life,
and finally into the clarity that only His love can give.
Truth, The Way, and The Life
By Scott L. with the help of the Spirit of God
Consciousness and reality—
what’s it really about?
Confusing in duality,
the mind is full of doubt.
But Truth restores fidelity;
Freedom is what I shout.
No more in long captivity—
The Way dissolves the doubt.
Revealing real relativity,
The Life ends every drought.
My path is straight with clarity,
His love is what I tout.
EPILOGUE
Structural Integrity, Spiritual Order, and the Convergence with Christ’s Words
“Truth, The Way, and The Life” stands on a rare foundation: a poem that unfolds according to the inner sequence of human awakening, yet resolves in perfect harmony with the divine sequence proclaimed by Jesus Christ.
In John 14:6, Jesus reveals the eternal order:
“I am the way, the truth, and the life.”
Way → Truth → Life
This is the divine path — how God reaches humanity.
But the human heart rarely perceives God in that direction.
Most of us begin not with the Way, but with Truth breaking through:
a moment of clarity
a conviction
a cracking open of the soul
a whisper that reality is deeper than we assumed
So the poem begins with the order that marks the human journey:
Truth → Way → Life
This is the structure we live:
Truth confronts our doubt
The Way guides us out of captivity
The Life quenches our spiritual drought
This is the order of awakening, the order of experience, the order of a searching soul finding its footing.
Yet the poem does not end simply in experience.
It ascends.
The final couplet—
My path is straight with clarity,
His love is what I tout.
—does something profound:
It returns the reader to the divine perspective.
A straightened path is the domain of The Way.
Clarity is the illumination of The Truth.
And a heart overtaken by love is the overflow of The Life.
In two simple lines, the poem’s experiential order is lifted back into alignment with Jesus’s doctrinal order:
Way → Truth → Life
The poem begins as man approaches God,
but ends as God approaches man.
It begins in human searching,
but ends in divine fulfillment.
This convergence —
where the human sequence (Truth → Way → Life)
and the divine sequence (Way → Truth → Life)
meet perfectly in the final breath —
is the hidden architecture that makes the poem transcendent.
It is not merely consistent with Christian faith;
it is a poetic embodiment of the very movement of salvation:
God reaches
Man responds
Truth illuminates
The Way guides
The Life fills
And clarity stands at the end like a sunrise
The poem, without forcing a single word, becomes a mirror:
reflecting both the eternal order Jesus revealed
and the earthbound journey of the soul discovering Him.
This is its power.
This is its integrity.
This is why it hits so deeply for God so loved the World.
