Sin Hypoxia

To escape sin, I built a glass box around me. Though sin like water started leaking through the cracks upon me. Soon the water would consume me. Forced hand prints scattered inside the glass by me. Trying to break free of what I built around me. No one is near to see or help me. No one to call, to assist or guide me. Tears accreting to the water wasn't helping me. The water is slowly getting deeper around me. The strength is fading away within me. Please, someone save me! Oh God, please forgive me! Thinking I had all the answers to build this glass box around me. Sin, yet and still captured me. I need you now Lord please strengthen me. Eyes closed beneath the water crying out for him to save me. His voice appears, "Come as you are to me. You made a decision to consult with yourself without me. For I am the only way the truth and the light; not you but me. All the tools you need are provided by me. I will bring down this glass box only for your life to be with me. For I make no mistakes because I am me. I will send you back to be a living witness for me and only me." Pace, G INK-U-SCRIPT 05-30-2012

Thank God that He is the key to open the glass box. I think many of us, before we turn to the Lord Jesus Christ, lock our selves in our own strength. God bless you as you continue to be a testimony for Him through your writing.

To open up the windows and let the world shine in. To see you in your darkest hour, filled with so much sin. Runs the risk of ridicule and blatent disregard. I think that's why some strangers stand outside in your front yard. Spewing all their sentiment and casual disdain. Ignoring thoughts that are their own inside their little brain. Four walls that hold up each one's roof. Is how God shows his loving proof.
