It’s that time of
year again – Halloween.
People are talking
about ghosts and
spirits and
demons.
I don’t know where
I stand on that.
I always said I never
believed in them, but I’m
starting to question my own thinking.
I just learned recently that even Christians believe in demons.
Apparently
they don’t believe in spirits or ghosts; they don’t believe that a “lost soul”
can get stuck here on earth,
or
haunt those who have done them wrong.
However, they do believe
in demons – fallen angels – Satan’s sidekicks.
They believe that people can be
infested with demons – that these little, ugly
monsters can overtake pieces of your life, if not all of it. They
can gain ultimate control, forcing your broken soul to work
for the devil.
Does anyone really want that?
There are a few
people
I could think of
that
probably provide a
home
for demons.
P e o p l e
whose lives are completely disturbed.
I never once thought that maybe I’d fall into that
category – until now.
Can
you see a demon if you look deep enough into someone’s eyes.
Could
someone look in my eyes and see the demon of addiction, possibly more?
And tell me, then,
just what would they see?
would it be
g r o w i n g?
or
would it be
s h r i n k i n g?
Would
it be getting stronger? Would it be slinking down in defeat?
Would
I stand a chance?
Am
I already beat?
This reminds me so much of Ellen Hopkins :)
ReplyDeleteAnd just noticed your favorite books on your info section. Good stuff! Figured I would give you some appreciation because it doesn't look like too many people are aware of how well deserved it is
