I STAND, A DEAD MAN WALKING AS THEY SAY. YET I LIVE, BUT NOT I. IT HAS TAKEN MY LIFETIME TO UNDERSTAND MANY THINGS AND NOW, TODAY WITH NEW ENLIGHTMENT, I SEE THE REALITY OF THIS. I AM DEAD IN THE FLESH, TO THE FLESH, EVEN THO I DO FLESHLY THINGS, THO ITS NOT I , FOR I DON'T WANT TO DO THE THINGS I DO. CHRIST IS LIVING THRU ME, TAKING ALL THE DESIRES OF THIS FLESH AND PLANTING GODLY WAYS INTO MY HEART. WHAT A CHANGE. WHAT A REVELATION, THO IT HAS TAKEN MANY , MANY YEARS.THE STRUGGLE WITH THE MIND, THE DAYS WITHOUT HOPE, THE WILDERNESS JOURNEY WHEN I BELIEVED THERE WAS NO HOPE, NO WAY. ONLY TO CROSS AND WAKE UP SPIRITUALLY , TO SEE THE LIGHT. NOT I BUT HE WHO HAS BEEN. THRU THE DAYS WHEN DEATH SANG SWEET VERSES OF, IT WILL BE BETTER, TAKE ME. I AM UR SAVIOR. WANTING HIM BUT NEVER QUITE ALLOWING HIM TO HAVE MY SPIRIT. HANGING ON, NOW REALIZING NOT I, BUT CHRIST. CARRYING ME WHEN I DIDN'T KNOW . TO BE IN THIS PLACE , AT THIS TIME IN MY LIFE, TODAY, WITH THE HOPLESSNESS OF OTHERS SCREAMING FOR HELP, HERE AM I LORD, PLEASE SEND ME. PLEASE USE ME. TAKE WHAT I HAVE LEARNED . TAKE THIS REMADE EARTHEN VESSEL, CHANGED FROM MERE CLAY TO PURE GOLD. DO NOT DELAY FOR I WILL BURST AS NEW WINE IN AN OLD BAG. NEVER HAVE I BEEN SO ALIVE,EVEN WITH THE FEAR OF THE UNEXPECTED. YES STILL FLESH. BUT SO REBORN. I HAVE NO EARTHLY IDEA WHY I WRITE THIS NOR WHY TO YOU. I REALLY KNOW NOTHING. I HAVE NO PATH BUT I POSSESS THE LIGHT. NO DIRECTION, BUT I HAVE THE GUIDE. WHERE HE LEADS I KNOW I WILL FOLLOW. BROKEN IN TIMES PAST SO THAT I WOULD STAY CLOSE TO HIM. TO BE USED WE MUST BECOME AS A CHILD. I SEE THE LIGHT OR AT LEAST THE SOURCE.
