It will find you...

The love and truth you give will come back to you.
The smiles, the selfless gestures will be returned in abundance.
You’ve got to give good, to get good.
Sow the truth, and you will reap peace.

Plant a garden of lies, deceit, and betrayal, and you will gather a harvest of hurt and pain.
Can you escape the consequences of dark deeds?
Can you hide away from the destruction you think is left in your wake?
No.
What is done in the dark WILL be brought out into the light.
It will find you.

Can you run from yourself?
Can you run from the truth?
Can you fight the inevitable?
No.
Why do you kick against the pricks?
It will find you.

Where can you run from the love of God?
Where can you hide from His Spirit?
If you fly to the heavens He is there.
If you make your bed in hell, He is there.
Even if the Shadow covers you, He will light the darkness about you.
The Shadow cannot hide anything from Him, as the dark and light are alike to Him.
The truth.
His love.
It will find you.
He will find you.

It’s just a matter of time.
When will you stop running?

And when good pure warm and real Love finds you, you’ll wonder why on earth you ever ran… :-)

There is a rather recent movie available to rent called “It Follows.”  It is a campy, creepy, 80’s style horror flick, yet it has a fascinating premise.  Instead of a Sexually Transmitted Disease, it is Sexually Transmitted Death, whereby Death is a stalker transmitted from one person to another.  Once it is received, Death stalks that person slowly and steadily, in the form of one they know, or in the form of stranger, until Death catches up and kills them.  It can only be avoided by running away faster, and to keep moving, as “It Follows” and “it will find you.”  You cannot run forever from it, as you will grow weary and it will catch up.  Just like one’s sins, one’s lifestyle, one’s actions… they will catch up with you eventually.  You will have to pay the piper eventually.  And the only way to (temporarily) get rid of Death is to pass it only to someone else by having sex with them.  Then Death will follow that person until he/she either dies (then it returns to follow you), or until that person passes it on sexually to another.  A very interesting premise, eh?  And a very good visual of how we try to avoid the consequences of our negative behavior, even “passing it on” to others (as blame, maybe?).  But it always comes back to us.  It always finds us.

By what do you want to be found?

Love?

Or Death?
