His Light Alone

It was about a year ago……………
I was only fifteen years old when it happened…………
It was a sad experience, yet it is my most cherished memory……………..
I often wonder if I’ll ever be able to forget it………………
On that day, only a year ago, I gave up the greatest part of myself.
I gave up my light……………………..

All my life, I had but one goal – to help people, to be a hero, to be the name that would be remembered for generations to come. Then, it happened…… My closest relative, my great grandfather, passed away…… As his body burned in the crematorium, so did my light, my purity, my soul. He was the one person that I had promised to be of the light. When he died, I had no more reason to withstand the power in my heart. I had no reason not to unleash the darkness that I had contained for so long, even if it changed me forever.

I took up the black coat, a symbol of my own tainted soul. I corrupted my mind with hatred for all mankind, but this darkness is not the memory that I cherish so deeply.

The memory that I will be taking with me when I leave this earth is a happy one, a memory born in light rather than darkness. One year ago, I welcomed something into my life that chased the darkness from within my soul, I welcomed the one true light that has cleansed the hearts of men for eons. On that one day, one year ago, I accepted Christ as my one true savior. 

His light alone is the thing that cleansed me of my sins and allowed me to see the error of my ways. My eyes were opened to the demons that I had allowed myself to be associated with. Now I am a purer soul, never again to be fooled by a demon’s corrupt shadow of evil.
