“A Dark Tunnel”

For as long as I can remember, I have lived a life of darkness. A life that only seemed to exist in a tunnel, which was always cold and dark. For years, I was told that the scar behind my neck was a birthmark. I now know better. It’s their brand, a manmade flesh mark.

Today, everything changed. I saw Jesus Christ, and he said, “My child, you have been ordained.” I thought I was dreaming, for in my dark tunnel, a bright star was gleaming. “How can this be?,” I asked myself. This is impossible. It was not. His voice was angelic, and definitely audible.

Had I unknowingly been seeking Jesus in my moments of sorrow and pain? I now know that it was him who stopped the bleeding when I was abandoned and left for dead in the rain. I’m not the same person. The darkness, sorrow and pain, no longer exist in my brain.

“My child, you have been ordained.” I can still hear his words. I’m not sure what this means, but I do know that I no longer find myself in darkness. I must confess, my heart tells me that my new life, begins with forgiveness.
