There have been days where I thought to myself, I would never make it. Telling myself that no matter what, I would do what I have to do because I am the one that has to live with the outcome of my life. The days when I feel low as if I have nothing left to live for, I have found myself thinking, crying, praying, and asking God to speak to me through words. Then one day, at my lowest possible moment, I was brought to realization with the words of a poem I wrote a very long time ago. This poem was called “Seduction of Life.” It begins: “You are the eyes of angels and the songs of the wind, the very trees do bow to you, so do the hearts of men. You are the seducer of the seas, and the lover of the lands, volcanoes erupt and mountains crumble, at the mere touch of your hand. Ask me who you are…”

Who are we? Such a question that is very difficult to figure out. At times we don’t find that we have a purpose in this world and that we are only here to fulfill the smallest of things, but that is not the way is is. God has chosen all of us for different reasons; purposes that are not for us to understand, only to complete and finish the job that he started at the beginning of time. I have come to realize that my prupose is to provide a sense of security and comfort in the eyes of the self-mutilated. It is we, who are strong and wise to provide these jobs of insight.

If I can leave you with some type of encouragement and wisdom, I say this to you, “as children of God, we are vulnerable to sin. We need to u derstand that going to his house of praise is not the only way out. We all need to humble ourselves, and be faithful. With a kind heart and a righteous way of living we can be blessed ten fold. I only encourage you to never give up faith because if I did, I would never have made it.”
