A storm of intense sorrow
THERE I was standing, motionless in this deep darkness, with hyper feelings of darkness, sorrow and shame filling me up.
The devil stood before me and with each passing minute he pointed in my face all my sins.
Enthusiasm audible in his voice as he read aloud all my sins, bit by bit, shame getting the better side of me.
Gradually the peace, joy and happiness that had once resided in my heart ceased to exist, thereby giving way to this fierce and violent storm, a storm of intense sorrow and sadness.
When all my hope for freedom had dried up and it seemed as if I was going to dwell in bondage forever, when the sorrow and darkness had completely took over me with not even a single ray of hope promising to penetrate within me, all I could do was cry as the devil was celebrating his victory.
Suddenly a bright light like lightning fell instantly. Somehow this certain light voiced some kind of freedom, that same freedom I had been deprived of.
The light engulfed the darkness which had been created by the devil, with no trace of it’s once upon a time existence
Joy, happiness, peace and freedom all came in flowing up to the point of overflow.
The light drew closer and from it a human like creature emerged, dazzling in white robes, His face too bright to be recognised but from the way the devil was trembling I could tell that it was He, the great one, Jesus.
An extraordinary feeling of happiness swept over me as Jesus embraced me. Softly He whispered in my ears, “Your sins are forgiven.”
The words rang in my head in a soothing harmony and each time they calmed down the storms of doubt and shame that had been dwelling inside me.
Jesus’ presence seemed to torment the devil more than his torments had done to me. A glance at the devil revealed his powerlessness.
Just then I realised how weak he is and how harmless a creature he is. If only I had this knowledge before then maybe all his torments would not have affected me. Maybe I wouldn’t have been drowned in such intense darkness.
