The Chains

I had wrestled with the demons in the darkness of the sea then God had mercy on my soul and softly spoke to me. My heart had been trampled,my spirit lost in pain and bitterness overwhelmed me like a steady fallen rain. Each new day seemed bleaker, hope hidden deep within, the demons that gnarled at me held me captive in their den. The reflection in my mirror bore no joy nor peace and I knew only God could put my heart at ease. I tried to pray for wisdom, for strength to overcome but the chains from the demons had not been let undone. Then God appeared to me one night and spoke as never before, telling me forgiveness would open my hearts' door. Now the reflection in my mirror shows no lingering signs of pain because God wrestles with the demons and God undid the chains. by Dixie George
