Poem
How could it be!? I was sinking deep in sin, choosing a life that was never made for me. I grew up in a Christian family, in a household filled with morals, values and we lived happily. Many of you know bits and pieces of my story. I want you to know that my soul slipping behaviours brought me no glory. It all started when I was neglected and abandoned by the one I loved the most. I couldn’t understand why and I still don’t know, but it is no fun when your best friend becomes a ghost. Consequently, I grew cold, bitter, devastated, and torn with each passing day. I was hurt to the core and I could feel my soul slowly slip away. When I tried to make sense of what was happening then, I thought to myself, “I’ll quit being the good guy. Let me get even!” After a while I was determined to ‘live it up “not knowing that I was only hurting myself. My life started to spiral out of control and it seemed like there was no defense. Why did I search for love in all of the wrong places? Why did I break the hearts of innocent faces!? I thought all men were evil because I thought I didn’t deserve what had happened to me. I cried many nights, threw many pity parties. I am happy I survived in this period of time because I would have died and not see my Saviour divine. But I thank God for praying parents who gave me a good Godly heritage. My slippery soul reflected on each and every positive message that I have heard throughout the years. I could no longer act as though I didn’t care. A caring network of friends offered valuable support. I was not alone. I pledged to share my story as a praise report! I became determined, this time, to stay grounded in my faith. I bumped up my prayer life and saturated my life with the Word of God; I had to rid myself of hate. I recommitted my life to Jesus Christ who cleansed and made me whole. Sometimes God allows the heart to break in order to heal the soul. I never doubted that He would help me to let go of all the hurt and pain. More importantly, I learned to forgive myself and the offender because there was more to gain. I am who I am because of what I’ve been through. He delivered this soul slipper and He can do the same for you!
