An Acrostic for a Friend

Ignorance of truth is no reason to refuse
Love, nor ignore that which is
Obvious, and speaks for itself, as does a mirror.
Verily, verily, I say to you:
Every looking glass upon which
You come is calling; screaming loudly
Out to you! Sweet Angel, it says,
Unlearn the lies their Prince has taught you.
Judge by those that love you -
Ignore Him who hates you.
Let not the deceit of Him
Lead you deeper into yourself any longer...
In human beings, there is only darkness, but God
Affords peace to His children. When you trust Him,
No lie can penetrate His love for you.
Cry out to Him, my friend. Pray for strength to
Lean upon Him, even when he seems
Absent from wherever it is that you are.
Remember the history of His promises, and
Know that He is trustworthy, and will never fail.
