"Darkness"
That's all I could see.
"Darkness"
That's where I was living in.
Everyday, every minute, every second.
I was literally in darkness.
A darkness so thick that you can touch it.
I wanted to leave.
I could see a light outside, shining so bright.
I desperately wanted to leave.
To get to that light outside.
But something kept pulling me back.
Sometimes I made it to the door.
I never got to open it.
The chains holding me always pulled me back.
In this darkness
I ate, I slept, talked with my friends who were also together with me.
In this darkness
I went to church.
In this darkness
I went to work, I went about doing my daily activities.
The chains holding me multiplied daily.
In this darkness
I derived pleasure.
I satisfied my flesh but my spirit was empty.
I was literally a living corpse.
I wanted to be free.
I really wanted to.
But my strength failed me all the time.
I lost all hope in getting free.
Until one day..
In that darkness I went to church as usual.
The Pastor preached about salvation
It was like I was hearing it for the first time.
It hit me like a ton of bricks.
My eyes opened.
I heard the truth.
I discovered the truth.
I applied the truth.
I called on God to change my life.
I cried and cried.
I felt joy in my heart.
I felt free.
The spirit within me came back to life.
I opened the door I could not open.
I entered into that marvelous light.
I became a man actually living.
I left my 'friends' in the dark.
They still enjoyed being there.
Hopefully, they will realize themselves.
Grace found me.
Grace brought me out from a total darkness.
The truth gave me freedom. KEY WORDS Darkness: Sin Chains: Different sins. Light: Jesus Truth: Word of God. Door: Heart 2 Corinthians 4:4, 2Corinthians 3:17, 2 Corinthians 5:17. Penshalom IG penshalom_
