Seeking/Found

He who could not lie

became a man

where that temptation 

could reach Him

He who could not die

became a man

subject to death

His immortality

took on mortality

so that I might take hold of His

He who knew no sin

became sin’s offering

so that I might live beyond it

Not proven

but given

Not forced

but found

He asks not

that I explain Him

only that I come

believing

that He is

And so I come—

not with answers

but with hunger

not with certainty

but with trust

I bring

what I have been

and lay it

against what He is

My questions

do not disqualify me

they lead me

My doubts

do not dismiss Him

they drive me

For something in me

recognizes something in Him

not by sight

but by knowing

And I find—

He is not diminished

by my inability to prove Him

nor strengthened

by my ability to defend Him

He simply is

And in that

I rest

Not because 

I have solved Him

but because

I have found Him

faithful
