Darkness Falls

Posted in Conviction. on Monday, December 30th, 2013 by Anthony

There comes a time in all of our lives, even after knowing Christ, that Darkness falls.  It doesn’t matter which direction we look, it seems as if there is no light.  I have been in this darkness for months now.  I allowed the wrong doings of others towards me to harden my heart.  In that I have found myself in a place that seems so far away from my Lord.  I watch and listen and experience the work of Jesus in the lives of those around me.  I sense that somehow deep within me I can find it once again, but then I turn back to the darkness.  The truth is I have found comfort in the darkness, in the lies that it has given me to be truth.  I know the truth of Christ and I know how much he loves me, but for some reason, I let my choices be about me and not about God.  I find my selfish needs have little to do with pleasing myself, but much more about numbing myself.  As I sit and think about the times of darkness I realize that I have chosen those paths because they are ones I am most familiar with.  You see Christ is Radical and Just.  He is not safe, but rather intense in the love he has for us.  I have found myself trying to contain the love he has for me by believing the lies that I am not good enough.  Only through Jesus can the Light penetrate the darkness.  I know that in a pitch dark room if you light a small match it can light up the whole room on the spark. What Christ has to Offer is a white hot brightness that cannot be duplicated and is just for me and you.  As Darkness has Fallen on me, it will be the light of Christ that Lifts it off of me.  I am a new creation in Christ, I am His Beloved and there is nothing, even the sin I have chosen that will keep me from him.  My future is in Christ’s hands and I will not live my life alone and lost.  I will grab a hold of the mane of the Lion of Judah and follow the path that he trail blazes for me.  I will trust him through my feelings of doubt, anxiety and loss and realize the Victory I have in him.  I pray for you that have been lost in the Darkness, that you would allow the light in.  Amen and Amen

One Love, One Cross, All Christ!
