Dark Night of the Soul



There were times that somewhere within our system there’s a vacuum, an empty space so fickle to be manipulated or may just simply shuts down. What will you do when the times arrive when it seems like you can no longer go in your own way? Sounds like familiar aren’t it. Why in the world is this happening? Can’t control it. When creation express perfection then why such a loss? You can only be amazed when reason starts the talking. When its feels like outdated and unsatisfied, it trickily conclude, “no absolute truth.”

Fame, wealth, health and some others to name down a few were all what the secular called the answers but history simply deny its coming. How many great and famous do we need to recall to present and argue that this are the anecdotes or just simply because for the sake of diplomacy, we say, that by the way we have our own opinion and choice. But the reality behind the door of our inquiry remains unresolved.

We need to find out the formula to solve this all out. Then remembering Jesus of the Bible, who gave us the glimpse and the virtual truth that will lead us the pathway how to satisfy our wanting. He was there! He knows what it feels like. Such paradox you can’t control. Overwhelming! But that moment when he said, “Thy will be done”, such bleeding within the core smack down pride. How can I articulate the language or define it when it sounds unfamiliar? Who sustains him in times of controversy and does anyone cares when it seems like everybody turns there back as if never known the guy?

To say that we’re happy when the truth is that we’re not is like committing suicide such denial poisons our being. In a world were relativity manipulates the mind and were pluralistic systems operating man then expect the worst. Denial of the reality of sin, denial of God’s love is to deny that we exist at all! Too good to be true! A heresy leading to hell!

To sum it up all, the damaged had already been paid even before the crime is yet to be committed! Jesus paid it all. How can God fill in to our inner thoughts when the core of our being is being swallowed by unbelief? So dark enough to recognize such evil! The message it brings us was damnation but those who live in, for and with Christ will experience the fullness in life and the beauty it brings. His unending supply of love was dominant enough to counter the power of resistance and enable us to believe the significance of belongingness in Christ.

Thus remain the legacy of old! Blessed are those whose lives rooted in Jesus Christ for to him given the blessings of God’s eternal kingdom. Though might sometimes wounded in the battle, but this warrior is no loser. He will be confident, full force against the darkness ever the battle could bring. Such top-secret power hidden in Christ will triumphantly overcome the dark night of the soul.

Yes, it may come, could be painful to the fullest, but behind that dark cloud the sun is still shining. There is no darker that could ever exist than to deny someone behind! Oh, how could possibly someone bear such pain it bring.

We will not be able to appreciate what life really is all about without challenges and until the time arrives when we realize the full picture it present then how beautiful to walk in the steps of the Savior. Amen!
