M. Aline

i don’t know what to write. i’ve never felt so close to God before. i’ve never had such deep conversations that i could actually hear his voice and feel his arms fully embrace me. the void of emptiness that sits in my heart, has been filled with his love and his spirit. he has comforted me in the darkest of nights, laughed with me on the brightest of days, he’s always been there for me even when i’ve attempted to push him away and shut him out. i once was ashamed, attempting to shield my nakedness, ashamed of my sins, guilty of what i had done, just as Adam and Eve had that day in the Garden of Eden: ashamed of what they had done. but God plucked me out of the leaves that had shielded me. he opened my eyes to the false identity i had wrapped myself in, an insecure girl hidden in a shadow of darkness. i am broken and my brokenness can’t be fixed by myself alone. only God can heal this brokenness hidden within me.
