From the Fiery Pits of Hell To My Glorious Home In Heaven

It started when I was young. I chose to take a walk on the wild side. I drove my parents insane with my deeds. I pushed everything good away. I was bad, evil to the core. Lying, stealing and cheating were all I knew. Then the drugs and sex overtook me. Riding on the slippery slope to Hell. Satan had my heart, mind, body and soul. He wouldn’t let me go. I didn’t want him to. I wanted my life of misery. It was good to me. I fell hard into his snare. I really felt that was where I belonged. It was a place to call home. All my friends egged me on. As I played games with the Devil. I drew closer and closer to him. Through Tarot and the Occult. Witchcraft, casting spells. It was so intense. I never wanted my ride to end. I was on top of the world. Living in the fiery pits of Hell. He reached down to where I was. He took my hand and pulled me out of the muck. He saved me. Showed me a new way of life. No more lying, stealing or cheating. The need for drugs was gone. I was taught how sex could be beautiful and pure. I was free of Satan’s grasp. He no longer had control over me. My heart, mind, body and soul now belong to another. He loves me. In spite of the terrible things I’ve done, he really loves me. He’s forgiven me. Can you believe that? Sent His Son to die for ME! It was on a cross on a hill far away. The Father couldn’t even watch as His Son paid the price for me. All for Me! Now my sins are all forgiven. The Devil’s hold on me broken. I am free! Free to have faith, to hope and to love. The best news of all is that the Son is coming back for me! Right now, this very second, He’s working on my place. My glorious home in Heaven!
