John 15:13King James Version (KJV)
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
The farther I continue on in this life the more I realize that my own worst enemy is myself. The struggle is real. The bible speaks of the enemy as satan, and he is. Don't misunderstand that. However, within is where my enemy (not satan) resides. Its the transgressions, the indecision, the remorse, the bitterness. It doesnt go away. It gets better the more I surround myself with Christ. But, in those dark times the pain is there. Those are the times when I cry out for God and I cant feel him. In these moments the most we need others there to support us. My new favorite song atm was recently released that I feel I could have wrote. Most of you won't know it because you're not a metal head like me. Its called "Drown" by Bring Me The Horizon. the lyrics go like this:
Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper
And I can't take
One more moment of this silence
The loneliness is haunting me
And the weight of the world's getting harder to hold up
It comes in waves, I close my eyes
Hold my breath and let it bury me
I'm not OK and it's not all right
Won't you drag the lake and bring me home again
Who will fix me now?
Dive in when I'm down?
Save me from myself
Don't let me drown
Who will make me fight?
Drag me out alive?
Save me from myself
Don't let me drown
Yeah, this is a dark post. I'm sure I lost most of you. Remember we are called to be the light of the world. But, dont ever forget the world is filled with darkness and your friends need you to help save them from drowning.
