Two kinds of news - There is good news after all

Two kinds of news
(2101130818-0830)

There are two kinds of news.
The first one
is not so new after all.
If I am honest with myself
I know it quite well.
The second one
is quite a surprise -
something so different,
that is from out of this world.
Well, number one:
Deep down in my heart
there is a lot of trouble.
So much of it,
that I know I am a failure.
But of course
I do not want to admit it,
even though everyone
else knows it
because they are
in the same boat.
So I spend my life
playing this endless game
of cover up and pretend.
But the longing for being real,
for true happiness and joy
and inner peace
is ever present.
And here comes
the second news.
God knows that.
He knows me
and he has a solution.
He has been writing
his message of love
ever since he created humanity.
He sent his son
to deal with our heart condition.
Only he is capable
to give me
what I am longing for.
But he does require me
to honestly look
at all my mistakes
and offer them to Jesus.
He will gladly take them
for he has been waiting
for me to bring them to him
all along.
He is the one who forgives.
He is the one who removes the guilt.
He is the one who cleans out the dirt.
He is the one who heals.
He is the one who restores.
He is the one who builds anew.
He is the one who makes me
stronger then I have ever been.
That kind of news
truly comes
from out of this world
for nothing in the world
is capable to do
anything even close.
I am so thankful
that there is
the second news as well.
