every lie is a stone

every lie is a stone,
a weight we choose to carry,
each one separates us from God,
other people, our neighbors,
a trap that leads to sin, a wedge,
estranging us from one another…
 
Truth alone will save us,
leading us to heaven, to God,
redeeming us in our spirit,
a part of the fabric, the body,
calm within us, rising,
we can live in peace…
 
every lie is a stone,
a burden on every heart,
born for the fire, for the dust,
leading to destruction, separation,
estrangement in the spirit,
the path of our loving God…
 
Truth alone will save us,
lifting our every struggle,
removing every stumbling block,
every stone that we carry,
adding enduring worthy,
restoring us to God…

every lies is a stone
 
Based on #Proverbs12:19
"Truthful lips endure forever,
but a lying tongue is but for a moment".
