i think i'm losing my sanity.
i don't know where to look anymore...
God's right in front of me,
calling me to the light.
not just any light.
His light.
but it's really hard.
i'm getting blinded and slowly losing my mind.

God, pleasepleaseplease take all these shackles off.

forgottenglories

MUFASA (The dead father in a vision to Simba) : Simba!

SIMBA
: Father?

MUFSA:
Simba, you have forgotten me.

SIMBA
: No! How could I?

MUFASA:
you have forgotten who you are, and so forgotten me. Look inside youself, Simba... you are more than what you have become.


SIMBA
: How can i go back? I am not who i used to be.

MUFASA:
Remember who you are. You are my son, and the one true king. Remember who you are.

Have we forgotten who we really are? Who we were are is am?

It was once clear in the coolness of the garden who the race of the 'very good's are.

Sunshine in the Darkness

You brought the sunshine in
You turned the dark to day
You made the shadows flee away

You opened up my eyes
To a new and living way
The dawning of a brand new day

There are thoughts in my head all the time. There are thoughts in everyone's heads all the time. I read this in a psychological paper I had been working through all this morning. But I just cannot get it pass my head this one overriding thought: that no other thought is as important, impactful, and life-changing as these words above.

Perhaps a cynic might disagree, citing numerous reasons why faith is nothing more than a blank storage of self-gratifying nonsense just to make us feel better. Perhaps the bitter would no longer accept that there is hope at the end of the tunnel, that all is lost. Perhaps the ones with everything wouldn't care less because they feel that there is nothing that they do not already have. Perhaps the hard-working would feel that there is no free lunch. Perhaps.

But I know what I am saying when I describe the love that has indeed being freely given. I know what I am saying when I note that no one is ever satisfied with the things they have in this world. I know what I am saying when I tell people that there is more to life than this. I know what I am saying when I point to the fact that there was nothing self-gratifying in the actions of martyrs. Faith is a belief. Faith is a lifestyle. Faith drives people. But above all, faith in God brings the sunshine in and turns the dark to day.
