The Depth of my Being

From the depth of his heart Novice Rohan Prakash D'Souza has penned a touching poem which might well be his encounter experience with the Lord. It is amazing to see how God who resides in the depth of our being brings a change of heart once we become convinced of His presence. Let us get into deeper waters with the sentiments expressed in this work of love.

The uncountable stars of the sky,
The expanse of the vast sea,
The unrelenting dryness of the desert.
All these show me the depth of my being.
I was amazed to see my own life.
The empty desires of my heart,
I understood that my love for God was distant.
How difficult it is to surrender to Him!
I lived with my many disquieting questions.
My fears and struggles were without answers.
I was not satisfied or clear about my life journey.
My heart, still, desired for the Truth.
The mystery of God had remained as history,
The burden of life still a burden.
Then He called me in the depth of my being,
To see the wooden cross at Calvary.
He left me surprised and speechless,
And let me see Him carrying my burden.
Now, I just trust Him in the depth of my being,
Because it is the only place where I "Rest in my Being."
