There used to be a time in my life when problems, situations, trials, tribulations, challenges and circumstances always prevailed. I was lost, confused and unwanted. I struggled to get by and longed for something better. I was hurt over and over again. But, through it all, I loved love. I loved with my whole heart, and was so deeply pained when the love was not returned. Then I met someone.
I was again in one of my countless turmoils. I heard my heart crying within me and all i could do to keep my sanity was to scream out like an deer caught in a trap. Then in the midst of the storm, I heard a voice. It was still, small, mighty and strong. It was loving, caring, kind and filled with compassion. I was startled, but somehow, I wanted to hear more. I listened for a while and waited. I was comforted and consoled, and accepted by a man whose power and authority cannot be fathomed. I felt as if a whirlwind had picked me up and was taking me to an unknown world, that seemed so familiar.
I was directed to a book - the guidebook of life as it was referred to. The book was called the Bible and it was written by the greatest author, the Holy Spirit. There I found Him. His name is Jesus. He showed me love like I have never known before. He showed me that all the bad things I did or ever will do will never separate me from the love He had for me. He showed me that although many had rejected me, He accepted me. He showed me that even though I could not love myself, He saw something in me that He loved. He told me that His love was not like human love. There was no conditions under which He could love me, but He loved me just as I am. I am in awe of Him. I long for more of Him. He is my everything.
