A Terrifying Savior

I have walked under the stars with Gods voice rolling in my mind. He spoke words I hated to hear as I boiled in rage and writhed in pain at the reality of His leading me to healing. It was as an itch that I desired strongly to scratch for I had no desire to let Him have his way. Yet only through the painful truth he spoke could real healing come, as all other efforts would be as a cup of water to the fires of hell.

I have sat under the moon with naught but tears, where Pain and Suffering gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. I was so alone that my Solitude was its own companion, so distraught that my wails were music to my ears. I wrapped myself in a blanket of darkness and felt warmth emanate from it

If you have not felt this, you could not recognize real Love.

Those who stare their enemies in the eye and know their defeat is inevitable are the only ones who know hope, for only when all chance of victory disappears can real Hope arrive. Only when it is the only thing left on which to grasp can Hope itself be the only Hope.

It is so with Love

Until all comfort has disappeared and the barren wasteland of existence reveals itself to the heart, one cannot know true Love exists. One cannot see the light without darkness.

By God’s revealing Love do we recognize, in the midst of misery, that all those false Loves have lined up to steal our hearts for their lesser purposes. At the recognition of reality do we abolish the belief that Love is just an emotion, that it is a kiss or a moment of feeling between a stranger and oneself

When pain is too much to bear, reach out your hand to the beautiful reality of the one who sacrificed all for you. In this will you find true Love. This will you emulate so your life holds true meaning.

So too will I.

Embrace that the true power of god is to learn him through your pain,trials & tribulations. For he is the only true leader to eternal, and internal happiness.
