To the valley- and back

God surely leads.

Lost and wondering in the spiritual realm, aimless and fearful of what to expect ahead. Time in its essence seems to be seeping away ever so secretly and carelessly. Secretly because there is no one to always watch over, carelessly as there is just waste.
Questions surfaced in my mind, thoughts ran wild in my head. Seeking and looking for that genuine and true believer seems out of this world for me. I am entering right into the devil's den.. being really indignant to the One calling.

Alas, in the very center of darkness. A slight and weak gleam, yet too difficult to go unacknowledged. From this glow stems the realization of what lies ahead. The glow turned stronger as I marched forward, forcing myself to shift my focus onto myself. Only dirtiness and ugly stains cover my body, with scars and wounds aplenty.

Hate, selfishness, anger... slowly loses its grip on my badly stained body. With it comes along Love, and yes Love. Love in its whole expressing selflessness. That very act of sacrifice of Jesus as He says, "It is finished!" , to die on the old rugged cross.
Three is the number that make me move on to my next step towards the light. I see not myself anymore. A risen Christ stood right in me, in an instant I am no longer me. There stood the new me, cleaned as the most pure of snow.

I am just very thankful Jesus died for me and for everyone and rose again on the third day, so that our sins are set free and we are saved. Wrote the metaphoric narrative of salvation to express the deep deep and joyful moment of salvation.

Be blessed by the whole story of the Gospel, God's great love for everyone when He sent His Son to bear the sin of the whole world on that Cross.

I think joyous should be the word, not only happy as Easter Sunday pass, knowing of the very great Resurrection that has happened 2000 years ago.
