A Short Story

I was new to this world, I had no one by my side to help me.
I fought on my own.. facing obstacles and challenges I knew I could never beat.
With people who claimed to be my comrades,
I kept walking down that road.. the road to destruction.

I knew for sure one day I would trip and fall.
And I would be trampled on..
not dead but forever hurt.

Then you came into my life.
Gave me support and love.
Gave me what I needed to move on despite the obstacles
I was truly blessed.

I turned away from the darkness that burdened me
I turned away from the fate I'd thought was fatal
Then I saw something I never knew before.

My comrades had betrayed me.
The darkness blinded me and now I could see..
the painful truth.

Then I prayed.
I prayed that my heart would heal.
I prayed that I would be okay..

Just like a miracle,
I felt a soft brush of air rush against my face
It was a presence so great that I had never felt before.
It was Jesus.

I cried.. I didn't know why.
I knelt down amazed at His presence just from one prayer
And he told me "Believe"

I acknowledged His words.
I did what He told me to.

And a few days later,
I found out secrets I never knew before
Secrets that I kept myself from knowing

Then I knew the truth of the truth
And the man I thought betrayed me..
was actually really the opposite.

I felt love for the first time and also my last.
We became eternally bonded.
And I prayed everyday just to hear Your whisper again.
