Lexi is a rescue dog from an abandon litter, bottle fed. As a result I realize that she can be fearful. When I recognize her fear, I tell her, “It’s Ok.” We all need to remember that ‘we’re gonna be OK’. The Good Lord holds us in His Hand. Let us remember that! We must let Him. We must hold His Hand…Let Him show us the Way!
It is not just saints who have Dark Nights of the Soul. I’m no saint! I have had many! Dark Nights of the Soul don’t have to be mystical experiences like St. John of the Cross wrote about. Although I am beginning to understand what St. John meant when he wrote ‘The Dark Night of The Soul’. No one can escape this life without having the darkness engulf us. We have clay feet. The darkest emotion beneath all others is FEAR! In those Dark Nights hopefully we recognize our smallness and our powerlessness. Many of us simply cry out, “Lord help me.”
It’s Gonna be OK…
Hold on…Don’t Let Go…
The longer I live the more people I meet who have also been rescued. Truth is we all need rescuing from ourselves mostly but also from life’s ‘Dark Nights.’
It requires that we SURRENDER…
