Eyes of Repentance



Oh Father! I lost my way;I am all alone myself.
I could feel the warmth of my tears; I was toiling with my burden of sin; heavy memories hit me hard; grief and pain cut my heart into two. I had no hope; my life was an open tomb; the high way leads to hell; I had no hope.
I, then, heard a voice coming across from distance, a faint one, but a familiar one; breaking the barriers of sin and darkness; It is coming nearer and nearer; I dared not to turn around but I had to; as you know; I had no hope.
I, then, turned around, Oh! it was you my Father; it was you.
Oh Father! I acknowledge my sin; for it is always before you;
I wounded your heart by doing things I shouldn't and by not doing things
I must.
Oh Father! how foolish I have been when my education became absolute ignorance;
when I am uneducated about the most basic education; I was unaware
of the depth of my Father's love; when I didn't see the Divine Messiah hung on the Cross;
My eyes over flowed not with honey; but with tears of Repentance.
Oh Father! when I saw Christ on the cross;
when I saw the one who helps became helpless;
when I saw the once- out stretched arms being
folded harshly;
when I saw Him punished for my punishment;
when I saw His blood gushed out; the currents took
away the stains of my sin; the hardness of my heart
faded away, slowly but surely.
Life never waited for me, nor did time; I didn't know where I was heading; but I do now; I do.
At last, 'time' said 'Good Bye' to me; I slept but only to wake up;
When I woke up; I heard the same familiar voice is coming across from distance; just to find out; it was 'Christ;, and it was in 'Heaven'.
