Everywhere I turned 
chaos loomed, 
dragging me deep 
into the silence of the night, 
where dark clouds gathered 
And the mist devoured all hope. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flashes of memory 
sliding by like shadows: 
ancient pain, 
lost love, 
fear, 
loneliness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the drink 
my only comfort, 
my false friend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then suddenly 
a change. 
A tiny crack appeared. 
A single ray of light 
pierced through my soul, 
flooding me with 
ecstasy, 
peace, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

a love I’d never known. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there 
after so long 
Hope stood near, 
waiting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflection: From Shadows to Salvation<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There were moments in life when the weight of the past, the silence of pain, and the false comforts we’ve clung to began to crumble\u2014and in that space, I felt the Divine break through to save me.
Darkness to Light reflects my journey, transitioning from despair to hope, from spiritual chaos to a love that truly saves.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salvation began with a ray of light breaking the hold of darkness, and that light is Jesus. He found me when I couldn’t see myself, and with a three-word invitation, ‘Come follow me’, my life began to change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
