I remember very clearly the events of my life between December of 2002 and March 2006. Even though I have learnt to forgive myself and those involved, I will never forget. Forgetting will mean letting go of some of the fuel that drives me and moves me from one mission to the next everyday. These were years of complete darkness. There were glimpses of light sometimes of it but the darkness simply overpowered the light. Those times, I simply went from one day to the next thankful that I had survived the previous. I felt as if the whole world was against me and to be honest that even God had forgotten me – sometimes.
But as I look back now, it is plain to see that those periods of darkness changed my life for the better. The storms were necessary to draw out in me gifts and treasures that never would have manifested any other way. These times have changed my prayers and my talks with God. I now see and know God to a completely different degree and in a completely different light. There are some things about God that you can only learn when going through periods of darkness. God reveals himself in a different kind of way.
Faith truly comes from hearing the Word of God but I found my faith also comes from going through situations that should have killed me or at the very least rendered me a mental institution inmate but God brought me out intact.
My talking about the fact that you can make it with Jesus Christ is not based on what someone else said or what I have read in some book. It based on the fact that I know God brought me out. God snatched me from the clutches of death and from the grip of the enemy who had his hands strongly around my throat. God can rescue you too and set you free. If you will give you live to God today, you too can be a new creature who will testify that God brought them through darkness with blessings.
