Once In The Dark

ONCE IN THE DARK

 Once I was in the dark and feeling incomplete, shame, guilt and pride were grabbing at my feet.

Unable to break free, unable to do anything. I didn’t know there was another way, Nor a reason for any change.

There was however a tug from deep within, that was always there and never left my side. Curious to know what that was from, someone, somewhere made it quite clear.

You are missing the light, you are living for naught. You are blinded by the most evil of souls…. Where he wants you to live in misery, and to steal any chance of victory.

There’s a place to be free, there’s a place of joy, a place of forgiveness and a place to call home.

Oh my did I not want to be free from my shame, guilt and pride and to see what it’s like to be on the other side?

They tell me there’s someone so dear, someone whom has loved me from the very start. They tell me I can live for eternity in the bosom of the King.

I know not who this someone is until He came and gave me light. The most indescribable love I have ever felt, from the someone now I hold most dear. Never have I known the love of a King, and never do I want Him to leave my side.

You see we are all children of the One True King. King of creation, King of all things, King over life and King over death. Is where we all will find our rest.

Open your eyes and open your ears to the calling of our Savior the King of our hearts.

Never have I loved so deep since the day I lay my life at Jesus’ feet. Never have I felt so calm than when my life became His song.

I sing, I sing the joyful noise, the freedom that is so sweet. I sing, I sing for the best is yet to come, and I will sing, sing Praises to my King.

I will shine my bright light for all the world to see. So His glory shines through all the dark and evil things. No one left behind is my new battle cry, all because I asked Jesus to come into my heart. And I’m so truly thankful from there He will never part……..

Fear?

You know "fear" causes a lot of other things like anger, jealousy, hatred you get the picture. I did not realize it was being fearful of something that makes these other feelings come out. God tells us in 2 Timothy 1:7 God did not give us the spirit of fear, but rather he gave us a spirit of power, and of love and of self-discipline.
As we walk our daily walk and try to be in God's presence all day, we cannot have the spirit of fear upon us.
I get caught up in myself, how everything is affecting ME, especially now I am peri-menopause and my hormones just sky rocket and I feel I have no control over my actions. It is an awful feeling because I am not normally so cranky, irritable, mad, agitated and the list goes on. So I go about my day praying for God to take away my bad feelings etc. and of course I want immediate action! Ya right! So I am fearful of hurting God most of all and other peoples feelings.
So I have decided to walk in God's grace, Romans 5:1-5
1 therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

The Revell Bible Dictionary page 451 says about Grace: Grace, however, makes men good and enables them to perform righteous acts.
and, From the beginning, relationship with God was rooted in God's promise of grace rather than on our own self-efforts.
