When darkness sets in and the rise of evil begins the world and its counterparts start to slip. They slip down into the winding corridors of self-condemnation where the only light is behind them. Once started you never stop. Once caught up in the flow there’s no escaping. The tragedy of it all is that so many are caught up. Caught up because they refuse to let go. So they slide without a hope, without a cry, without escape, unless they let go of what hold so dearly.

In fact, they only hold it because it’s familiar, a safe stronghold. What they fail to see and realise is that holding on could mean eternal doom. Afraid to take a chance, afraid to take a risk, and all because fear is what is really holding them. It is believed that if you hold on you fall with everyone else.  And if you let go you fall alone.

NOT TRUE!!  If you hold on you go alone. Alone because of what you hold. Then if you let go, you at least have a chance to alter your future.  You are the only one who can determine your fate. You are the only one who can make your decisions for you. You are the only one who makes the decisions that will either make or break you. It’s all up to you whether or not you crash and burn with the rest of the world, or whether you fly and soar with those that are brave and strong enough to let go of their past, and stop their downward slide before it gets to, “the point of no return.”  The point where you are sliding so fast that you, in fact, are no longer sliding, you are falling. Falling as though you have stepped off a cliff, where the only things to break your fall are the rocks at the bottom.  

All you need to do is let go. Let go and trust your wings and fly. Fly high as to get yourself out of the pit and land on stable ground. But you must trust yourself. You must trust yourself to the point that you spread your wings to slow your decent, let go and let it fall not you. Then begin to fly, to find a safe place to land. The safest rock to land on, is the one that will never fall…and that rock is Jesus.

He’s the one who will save you.
But only if you are willing to make the first move.
