Out of the Darkness

Have you ever been in a place so dark, you couldn’t find your way out? I have! There was a time in my life I couldn’t see light, because I was too deep in darkness! Well it is a terrible place to be and I wouldn’t want to wish it on anyone. Through a painful event I fell into a deep dark pit and there was no escape. When I think back to that dark time I lost all hope and I was in a horrible state of depression, destined for death and nothing or no one could have helped me out. I was what you’d call the lost sheep that wandered from the fold. A prodigal that had lost her way and I was determined that I would never return. My life was a mess and I believed I had gone too far, but you know something? As I sat in the burnt ruined ashes of my past, a spark rekindled. A flame of hope enlightened my eyes and when I looked up, there was the great Shepherd. And He loved me In spite of my dirt and darkness. He wasn’t going to let me go any further and it was like the parable In the bible where He left the 99 sheep to rescue me and I could hear His voice in my spirit call me home. As I took that first step little did I realize the greatness of His beauty that He would portray in my life. I was on the threshold of something greater than I ever imagined. As I took more steps on His path that flame He rekindled from my ashes, turned Into a wildfire of love for Him no words can fully explain. It didn’t happen overnight of course and there was no Instant formula He had that would mold me and make me more like Him. There were lessons I had to learn and It was a long process. But through it all He refined all my broken pieces and He put me back together into a new creation, a new woman filled with His grace and all for His glory. When I look back at it all and see the woman that I was to where I am now, I say wow! Is He finished with me yet? No, there’s still work to be done, but it’s a good work and I can live above all my circumstances as I put my trust in Him. Phil.1:6

For with Him is the fountain of Life, In His Light I see light…Psalms 36:9

There was once no light at the end of tunnel…I now see His light shining bright for me..

I see the light of true freedom, I am set free

I see the light of His goodness and Love

I see the light of His power (Holy Spirit) and He leads me each day

I see His light of hope for my future

I see the light of His faithfulness, He’s always been there for me

I now give Him all praise for He called me out from the darkness and into His marvellous Light. 1 Peter 2:9  I follow His light in every step I take Gal.5:25

If you are in a dark place right now then you too can experience an amazing journey with Him. To me I find it even better If you’re at your lowest because when He lifts you up and shines His light on you, wow, it’s a supernatural high you live like no other. You’d have to experience it yourself to know what I mean. Right at this moment if you feel like giving up, well I believe you are right at that same threshold I was at. So, all you have to do is answer His call, oh yes, He is calling you out from the the darkness and when you answer and let Him have His way..you are on your way to the greatest journey ever. If you want out, then pray this prayer from your heart.

Lord Jesus,

I believe in You, shine your light on me. Rescue me from darkness, make Yourself real to me so I can walk in victory and overcome all my weakness. I surrender my life to You, make me new so I can live in true freedom. Amen

If you prayed that prayer well you are on your way to a new way of walking, filled with His love, joy and peace. Now remember it doesn’t happen overnight, it’s a process. Some people say you have to quit bad habits before you can come to the Lord, nonsense, come as you are and He will remove It all and replace it with greater things than your mind could ever Imagine right now.

You are loved, my friends and always in my prayers, love Jan (Lollita Faith)
