THOUGHTS My thoughts imprisoned me to the past. They influence me to keep on inflicting
blame and punishment on unaware victims as payment for those who performed sinful
acts against my helpless ego. I keep
telling myself that all is my fault.
Nothing will ever change because I am the guilty one and I cannot
forgive myself. I may do to others
what was done to me for this is all that I know. My thoughts trigger my actions. I realize that I must keep them under
control for they can either make or break me.
The problem is that I am bankrupt; I have no answers. I realize that
negative thoughts are Satan’s weapons used against me. His desire is that I
see myself as a loser and an unwanted person.
He will do anything to keep me from seeing who I really am. As long as I entertain these thoughts I
will continue to be their victim. I
will not be able to see the light for I am surrounded by his darkness. Who will save me? Who will take me out of the pit? Where can I find this person? Where can the answer be found? I hear a voice
whispering through the night. “Child I
understand the confusion that is crowding your mind. I am here to set you free. I want to save you from your harmful
thinking.” I turn to see who is there to give me the
freedom I long for. The freedom that
will open the door to a new life filled with love and acceptance. “Do you have what I need?” I ask the voice. “Are you the one who will dry my
tears? I ‘ve been held captive long
enough. Please understand that I am
not the one who birthed these thoughts.
I didn’t mean to entertain them but this is all I know. I was mentally battered since I was a child
and then ….. and then I got caught in the trap of
negativity. Is it really true that you
can set me free?” I hear the voice,
“Your evil thoughts do not need to determine your future. This is a lie. You have the ability to destroy them. I defeated the enemy who strives to control
your mind over two thousand years ago.
You my friend are still walking a talk that died with me on the
cross. My aim is to give you a new and
victorious way of thinking. The
thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My desire is to give you a
rich and satisfying life. Follow me
and I will lead you to a new road that you never thought could be
possible. Follow me and you will have
the victory.” “I know who you are!”
I exclaimed joyfully. “You are Jesus
the Christ!” “Yes I am.” declares
the voice. He steps out and the
darkness dissipates. “Are you ready to
accept me as your Lord and Savior?” I cry with tears of
joy as I shout, “Yes! Yes Lord! Yes!” Minister Francine Stuart
