You Were Made for Redemption
They can take away your goals. They can crush your dreams. They can tear down who you are.
But they can never touch your soul.
When you hit your rock bottom, there is nowhere to go but up. When you reach your low; when you are completely and utterly alone. When you have no one to lean on. When all the walls are falling down around you and the Earth is crumbling beneath your feet. That is when you will see how strong you really are.
You are stripped down. Naked. Violated. Embarrassed. Ashamed. You are screaming out for help. You are reaching and grasping but there is no one there to save you.
No one is coming and no one will.
You are left completely alone with just...you.
And this is when you see your Truth for what it is. You see the lies. You see the sin. You see the pain. You see everything. It is all boiling over now and spilling over your body as the tears stream down your face.
And you know. This is not life. This is not living.
And you want to die.
But you don’t really want to kill yourself. No. You want to kill your Self. The Self that has been putting on this mask for years. The Self that has been pushing aside your inborn passions and gifts and loves to be “something”. To be what you “should” be. The Self that has told you that you need to have this to be loved, or that to be happy, or this other thing in order to feel okay about yourself.
Has it ever worked?
No.
It hasn’t. Because nothing in this physical world will ever satisfy you. For a few minutes, maybe, but it will leave you in more pain later on. It will leave you desperate and pleading for your next fix. The drugs. The sex. The fame. The fortune.
Is it ever enough for you? When will it ever be enough?
Tell me when.
No...you don’t want to kill yourself, but your ego. To finally rid yourself of the burdens of this physical world once and for all.
You can’t live this way anymore, in the slow suicide of sin and self hatred. It’s been eating you up inside.
Finally the shell has broken. You can’t keep living a lie.
Follow your heart.
