The more “knowledgeable” a person seems to get about their addiction/disorder the less it seems they mention God. Like walking deeper and deeper into a cave – every step propels them further into the darkness and away from the light.
I use the term knowledgeable very loosely of course – because analyzing darkness has never produced light. It simply makes more darkness. And this is what I see so much of. Blind men and women groping in the dark carrying on like experts. But the only thing they are experts in is self deception and darkness. What a curse! Self satisfaction. Being wise in your own eyes. A curse I tell ya!
The most wonderful miracle is when that blind man walking in the dark cave suddenly cries out the truth – and gives up his degree in “darkness analytics” and allows the God Of Light to show him what he could never see by himself.
“Your eye is a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is good, your whole body is filled with light. But when your eye is bad, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is!” – Matthew 6:22-23
Recovered In Christ 
Yes! Amen!! Time to give up my pathetic flashlight of wisdom that casts more shadows of confusion than anything else.
Love this!!! Thank you 🙂
“…analyzing darkness has never produced light.” probably one of the most profound things I’ve ever read. THANK you for speaking the word!!!
LOL!! I’m not that important….AS you’re trolling my site!! LOL!!
My content speaks for itself – why would I comment on it? To who? You? Some sad cave dweller fumbling in the dark? …and who is “we”?? LOL!! Your team of my castoffs?
Seriously – get back to drafting a new case for Area against me and leave the discussion to people who actually have an opinion – rather than just an infatuation with me! xx
I have a feeling the comments are by Amber or Holly…lol….still not over it huh? LOL!!!
JANE is that you??????? OMG!! Private message me!!!!
wow is all I can say. You have some super fans I see! Please delete the nasty comments from these people Layla – this is such a beautiful post I would hate to see someone so sad and dark get the spotlight, even for a moment.
I guess not living in perpetual sin and refusing to date newcomers makes you fanatical! Or perhaps these “commentators” really want to hold you responsible for Christ’s words? As if you came up with the Bible? It is so sad to see – women living like glorified prostitutes passing judgment on a woman who actually remains loyal to God’s word. Pathetic really.
Yes Please erase these nasty comments!! Sounds more like a grudge and some hurt feelers rather than an actual comment to a post.
Dear “A. Humble Servant” commentator, where in the 12 steps does it say to go on other people’s posts that you disagree with and mock them calling them delusional and fanatical?? Where in your inventory and prayer to your “all inclusive God” do you get the inspiration to attack a person because you think she’s crazy and “dangerous” to your little community of free thinkers?? Your behavior is disgusting – and quite obviously you are in fact an obsessed fan/troll.
Deep breath…rant over! Btw – thanks for a lovely post Layla – great imagery!
Wonderful post – again. Your whole blog reminds me of the biblical text right behind what you quoted in Matthew:
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Your content certainly does speak for itself. What a bold and beautiful young woman you are. May our Lord’s blessings continue to be poured out on you!
You touched a nerve I see! Keep it coming! 🙂
As a recovered “cave dweller” 🙂 I can tell you that the greatest act a truly humble servant can perform is to never dampen their passion to reach lost souls. You are one of such people. God bless!
