From a Deep, Dark Well of Death
The Way | 2/7/2025 | CharlesOconnell

Posted on 02/07/2025 9:09:46 AM PST by CharlesOConnell

I am lying deep in the dank darkness of a dried up well, unable to climb out on my own, with one tiny, faint ray of light shining from far, far above. But God, happy in himself, beyond the holy blue sky he has created, has sent down his only Son, to let a drop of his own blood drop into my dry and dirty, deep, deep darkness, to cleanse me of my filth, and bring me out of my deep well, to bring me up into his profound, peaceful happiness.

You know, God didn’t have to do that, he was sitting pretty as the Lord of all Creation.

But he made that painful sacrifice for us.

Lol!
I was trying to be respectful and devout, but that stream of consciousness is hard to follow. I wasn’t expecting it here on FR.

I hear beatnik bongo drums in my head when I read this. Glad you have peace in Christ. I do too.

The Lord keeps Us Thru Trials
Not OUT of Them.
.
I’ve had dreams similar to yous of being in a Pit and they point me to another soul that I can Help with the Hope of Redemption thru Jesus.
.
Look Up Friend!
Your Salvation Cometh from the Hills!
