Let the Light In- often times suffering precedes the producing of truly good things. The problem is not circumstance. It’s within me and I hate that. The mess I create is a pit I can’t pull myself out of. Its a trap and a lie to think you are stuck. Yet something inside doesn’t seem to allow the light in. I look at the words of God and just observe them. They ring true in my soul, yet I don’t feel them. Sometimes truth doesn’t evoke emotion. Sometimes truth is just truth.

“The ropes of death entangled me; floods of destruction swept over me. The grave wrapped its ropes around me; death laid a trap in my path. But in my distress I cried out to the Lord ; yes, I prayed to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry to him reached his ears.” Psalms 18:4-6

“God, help.”

I’ve tried so long on my own to clean myself up. I’m like a child with messy hands, I need my Father to wipe them clean. In my own ability I am not capable. “He opened the heavens and came down…He reached down from heaven and rescued me; he drew me out of deep waters.” Psalms 18:9,16

So here’s to grace, the light slowly being let in. Just let it cover and wash over you. Although, at times it can be hard to believe, Gods word is truth. He will prove himself faithful for darkness is as light to him. It takes time, my friend. So hold on.
