This morning I woke up at about 5ish and looked over at my window and thought to myself... "It is soooo dark." It took my mind back to a time in my life when I dwelled there...Now most people who know me well know that I have never been a fan of the dark. I never wanted to be alone when we played Hide and Seek as kids. I had to turn on every light on my way to the kitchen to get a drink a night. I just didn't like the feeling of heaviness the darkness left on me. It was... uncomfortable. I didn't like it and it made me sick to my stomach. I wanted to run as far away as I could and it seemed like the dark cloud just kept following me!!!! I wanted out!! My heart was aching and I was screaming for help and I felt as if noone heard my cry. My heart was  bruised, beaten and I was emotionally sick. I was constanly stuck in this dark state. The one thing I was so afriad of had... consumed me. It became my attitude. My words. My thoughts. They way I appeared. I was hurt and angry (Anger- Secondary Emotion). I didn't understand what was going on I was confused and scared. I felt like a small child sitting in a corner crying and rocking back and forth in fear waiting to be rescused by her daddy... Enter stage right Daddy... Jesus... Finally! I was saved! He saw how weak I was and walked over to me and picked me up in His arms and wrapped them tightly around me and whispered to me... " Here I am,Beloved. Rest in me." Joy rushed over me! There was light all around me!!! Those things in the darkness were revealed and Christ overcame them for me!!!! It's amazing what happens when we let God just hold us. His grace is always more than enough and it's good to know that we have a daddy who we can run to and find security in His arms. I am blessed to have a God who loves me and wants me. God has revealed himself in a way that has made me fall head over heels in love with Him. I am blessed.
