UNTO THE NIGHT

On a stroll beyond the night of our affections. To the place where we can't hide from the greater deceit that rules our existence.

But unto that time of pilgrimage we find ourselves being snared to follow light that is not held up by somebody's opinion. This is where one discovers thoughts we didn't accept we could know.

Life does require these moments. No matter how we try to avoid the reality, it does happen.

Because all of us have desires that never get satisfied. And it eats at us in so many ways. So we try to find ways of satisfying our disappointment.

Which is not bad if we find healthy ways to vent our needs. But that often where the heart wants to go.

Not quite the way that will lead to success or happiness. However, this doesn't translate into reason.

So we head in the wrong direction totally convinced it is the right option. Until disaster strikes.

Then perhaps we accept finally come to the point of truth. That we are not as perfect or good as we think.

Just a sinner in need of forgiveness. One who needs the Lord's guidance. And always ends up with the joy of embracing that need.

For God will not let us take a step in the dark without help. It just shines on places other than where we want.

Darkness is meant to emphasis what is important. Not to be a place we hide. And with God's help we find the right steps.

To do so doesn't mean our passions will get the attention they deserve. Perhaps not in the way we want.

For when we see with His eyes we find in the darkness more than a sense of being lost. We find hope according to His word.

And that is a path that will find the right direction to satisfy our needs without leading to disaster. Just never easy to reach it when we think only of ourselves.

It will be the point we know, what our soul truly craves and that is always a joy when it comes with light.
