They Walked as Orphans

The Inspirer observed her people as they all walked like orphans with no mother or father who loves them and watches over them. It is true that they have now grown into immortality. It is true that they have discovered powers beyond their imaginings. Yet such things have not filled the emptiness they all felt deep within them. Deep within them, each one is longing for something else.

The Inspirer never fails to remind them of Selah and her motherly love. She reminds them how Selah awaits each one, always ready to embrace each of her lonely children. But they would not come to her. They were always busy with something else.

The Inspirer also reminds them of Cairos, the ancient King. His strength is also the strength of all who need strength, his courage is also the courage of those who yearn to be brave. Cairos is love and might in one spirit, and whoever knows Cairos shall never be broken of heart for long. But they would not come to Cairos as well. Such is a name they have long forgotten. The Inspirer’s people says they have the strength they need, that they need no one. But when you look into their eyes you will see how lost they truly are, how each starves for a God they have forgotten long ago.

Even her people do not come to her anymore. Each day, there are fewer and fewer people who believe in the Inspirer, and the Inspirer cannot force herself to anyone. She can only watch her people roaming like lost sheeps, walking as orphans with no one to call them their own.
