To those who’ve known me before
you may have noticed…
I’ve become quieter in some things,
and louder in others.
You may still ask about business, marriage, success
and I honour those questions.
But you need to know something deeper:
I’m not chasing what I used to.
Because something happened.
Something awakened.
I didn’t find religion…
I was found by fire.
I’ve come to see that most of what we call life
the rush, the noise, the chase
is part of a system that keeps us from knowing who we truly are.
So if I no longer seem interested in the usual things,
it’s not that I’m lost…
It’s that I’ve been found.
Found by truth.
Found by light.
Found by the Lamb.
And now I burn to speak the scrolls that were hidden in my heart.
To reveal what was always within.
So yes, I still love you.
I still see you.
But I’ve stepped into another world
the Kingdom within.
And I’ll never be the same.
