The Tale of Humans and Words

Once upon a time...

The Words were lifted high, hoisted onto a gaudy pedestal to rule over the land of Human Hearts. At first, The Words seemed full of truth and beauty; they reigned with such sickening and convincing sweetness and seemed to know exactly what the humans wanted to hear. Therefore, humans bowed before their utterance, took their providence over human actions and human beliefs as a great gift.

Then The Words became oppressors. The Words chained their subjects with a seemingly iron grip, and the humans, trapped by their initial goodness, could not escape their mocking nature, their lies, their hurt, their painful assertions.

Yet the humans, in the midst of this slavery, could not realize that The Words had taken a throne that was not theirs. 

The humans did not realize that The Words' "truth" was actually just a paper-thin blanket that masked the real truth, a truth that would shame The Words and reveal their monstrosity. 

The humans did not know that the chains that bound their souls to a disgusting place were existing in an artificial strength, one that would not stand a chance when the true King would come. 

In the meantime, the humans writhed in pain, tears soaking the soils of their land, darkness covering in a mist of hatred, sadness was set as the climate and confusion and searching seemed that it would last forevermore.

When would the oppression end?

It would end with The True Word. The Word that brings life.

This True Word came with such a victorious fury that no other words stood a chance. The True Word battled to prove its truth, though it was the rightful ruler of the land. The Words used their best weapons of Doubt, Deceit, and False Hope to combat this, but in the end the One True Word took every hurtful, oppressive, evil Word and overwhelmingly conquered! 

The True Word fought like a hero, as a warrior, bravery surpassing what any human had ever seen or known, truth and nobility that shone from him as the sweat and blood dripping from his efforts glistened in the light that was slowly overtaking the land. 

He emerged as winner. He emerged as King.

And what of the slaves of The Words, the weak and vulnerable human beings who feared the power of The True Word? 

He did not sentence them to death for following the wrong King. He did not even take them as prisoners to work of the years that they worshiped lies. 

He did not just set them free, but made them more than free. 

He invited them into His kingdom. 

He gave them treasures they had never seen before, treasures that glowed so bright it blinded the humans, making them forget their past trials and errors. Treasures of grace, love, and the greatest of all, salvation. 

And they lived, and live, and shall live, happily ever after in union with their True King and the One True Word!
