Darkness surrounds us and all light disappears. A quiet feeling sweeps across the heart and we embrace fear. We look around trying to find our way out but we can’t see. We start to panic and soon we feel we are all alone. We panic as we run away from our lives trying to distance ourselves from the choices we made that brought us to the “realm” of the lives we find ourselves trapped in. Every day we run farther and farther away from the light not because we want to, but because we are lost!
There are no sign posts, no compasses because we can’t see them for we are blinded by the darkness. We can hear people around us talking, crying, screaming for help but they can’t help us because they are in the same place we are. Life is decisions. Good and bad.
Time passes as years fade away and our heart continues to break. Hopelessness sets in and we try to accept who we are and what we’ve become. But we can’t. We are not happy with who we are. Every day we are in agony, tormented by the demons that influence us. They grab a hold of our soul and drag us kicking and screaming farther into the darkness. They tell us we can never get out. We are all alone. And there is no hope!
In the blackness of our despair we hear a faint voice say, “You are not alone! I will find you! I will fight for you!” Suddenly a light shines so bright that we are blinded by the warmth of it. A peace fills our heart as we watch the darkness flee in fear. The demons run in terror as they are destroyed. Our eyes regain their sight as we look up and standing in front of us is the Lord Jesus, behind him are our brothers and sisters.
THEY HAVE FOUND US!
He reaches down and picks us up as we stand the chains that have bound us fall to the ground and we are free.
Jesus smiles and says, “Do you know that these who stand behind me have been praying for you? They made similar choices in their lives and I found them as well. YOU ARE NEVER ALONE! In the darkest of nights if one were to look up they would always see at least one star. That shining star is hope. That shining star is Me!”
