there was a short blackout in my house today, i think everyone in my area was affected by it too.. it lasted for about 10 secs? nothing really uncommon since its happened before.. It seemed pretty short, yet at the same time it felt like forever.. i still remember that i was on the computer when the blackout occured, all the power was cut, and all the lights, tv, and computer just went all quiet all of a sudden. I being a person who absolutely dislikes the dark got freaked out :( I think my heart stopped beating and i stopped breathing altogether in that 10secs, and when the lights came back on i found myself literally gasping for air, totally freaked out.. haha.. but seriously the feeling of being surrounded by total darkness, all alone, in a pitch black room where i couldn't see anything at all, and not hearing anything at all just got me sooo scared..normally when a blackout occurs you would tend to have some light from either the moon, or the street lights outside your house, but in my case i had none. The feeling of loneliness, desperation, despair and helplessness was just so overwhelming..in the midst of the darkness i just felt so lost..Right after the lights came on i was reminded of Affabel, and how it described one part of hell that is just total darkness and silence and you would just be living in constant fear and terror of what was going on around you. The feeling of just being alone, in total darkness is too hard to even explain, and even worse to experience. I mean when you read about hell from the Bible, or books of people past experience, you would feel a little bit scared or frightened maybe..but for me this one experience of a blackout really freaked me out, and probably spoke to me about the fear of hell so much more then i've ever known.
The need of having Jesus in our lives is so important. To have Him as our light in the darkness, and for salvation from sin and hell. It's just scary to imagine people living like this everyday in total darkness all alone in deep fear..all they need is the light of Jesus to shine in their lives. I believe that only Jesus can help them. The burden of sin is just so strong that even 1 small sin can drag us all the way down.
Thank You God for teaching me and reminding me, You are indeed the only way to life. May i hold on to You dearly, never letting go..not even once.
