In a season filled with joy and peace, lights and laughter, with family and friends all of us who fall victim to ourselves crouch in dungeons wishing it all to end. We try and portray to the world that we have not a care while inside our hearts grow colder and the season gets longer. We sit wallowing in our own self pity while guilt and shame feast heavily on our minds. Christmas is a feeding frenzy for the one decision we constantly make that allows our minds to feel freedom but our feelings to be numb. We stand trapped in the constant motion of the door that continues to revolve ever so rapidly. We ask ourselves why, why we can't stop,why we can't be "normal" , why we can't filter emotions like others, why are we different, why do we choose the demon, and as some would say why do we always take the easiest road! As the season progresses the use progresses. As this day progresses we stand still, the highs finding themselves closer and closer together, the tears more frequent. We wander the street wishing the nightmare would cease and only having one answer, the remedy only our demon can provide. Alone, lost, helpless, hopeless, tired, scared, angry, hateful the emotion plays like a symphony at its grandest point in our minds. We find ourselves on our knees in our self made puddles begging for just a simple touch, a hug, the voice,,, of a loved one saying Merry Christmas. As memories from childhood Christmases play over and over in the theater of our minds we are interrupted with belligerent reminders of every wrong doing or mishap, Every failure every argument . On a day when the world is smiling, on a day when the world is joyful, on a day when the world rejoices for the birth of Jesus, we sit alone trapped and hopeless in the dark. Maybe if I drink a little more, maybe if I take a couple extra pills, maybe if I do a bigger line or take a bigger shot it will all be over. We ask ourselves over and over what's the point family doesn't care or love me, our kids have been a missing factor in the equation for so long, it'll be good for everyone. On the day when we should be celebrating the birth of a man who was born to die for me, on the day a man was born to ultimately take away every wrong doing I've ever done I sit paralyzed with emotion. Today you feel helpless and alone because your loved ones have sheltered themselves from the one thing they can't trust or depend on. Yet today you were given the greatest gift in the history of time! The greatest gift ever given to man.
Today you sit thinking no one loves you, you didn't get any presents, you've been threatened of the cops if you come around, all you want is to see your kids, and be loved! You want to smile, to be joyous to be a part of what your life has missed out on for so long, Christmas. Today a man by the names of Jesus Christ was born for one sole purpose. That purpose was to be the sacrifice that would reconcile the broken hateful relationship between man and God. God has given us the greatest gift of all, his son Jesus to forgive us for our wrongs and hardships our sins , faults, and failures. You aren't alone he stands beside you, he stands in you, he stands behind you, and he stands before you asking you to follow him, to accept him as savior as friend! You are not loveless on this day you are not powerless on this day. Today you can start over, today you can prepare to take the demon down, not just to lock him away, but to execute him and bury his remains forever. Today you can start to become the dad or mom you were intended to be ! So I ask you, before you take this last hit, before you light that pipe, take those extra pills, take that bigger line or slam that biggest shot, somebody loves, somebody was born to literally die for you! Put it down and allow God to love you. Allow God to rebuild and transform you. Don't let God's birth and painful death be in vain. You see Jesus came to LOVE you, to SAVE you. God gave us the gift of Jesus it's about time we give God a gift back. Today I ask you to make the hardest decision you've ever made, I ask you to choose your family to choose your kids to choose God, I ask you to assassinate your demon once and for all, to die to self so you may be born again in Christ! Today I ask you to take off the old and put on the new, Make this Christmas about family by giving them what they are praying for over this Christmas dinner, that's for you to be sober and sitting with them next Christmas dinner! It's a long road and won't be easy in the least! But I guarantee the reward is plentiful and the support astounding! Today December 25th 2016 I killed my demon, will you?
