these are words of fright:
these are words of the night.
when i lay there in the dark,
after the pass of the light,
and my flesh crawls out and sits before me
like the lord of the flies saying,
"you know what you have to do"
i want to shout,
i want to scream,
i want to sob like a broken child.
no.
this is the flesh talking,
this is my inner self, the sin coated monster,
me.
i don't have to listen to it,
i don't have to obey its every whim, desire,
or command.
because i belong to one of a higher calling.
JESUS CHRIST
and He calls me to look at Him.
to think on things holier than those ugly, selfish thoughts
sitting before me with filthy grins.
be gone with you,
you pig.
and good riddance.
<3 eva

Deleteits for you dear. i knew very few people would appreciate the reference, but for those who do (aka you) the blog post has a whole other angle.
Deleteand thank you! i'm flattered.
oh wowwwww. I love this SOOO much. Your writing really speaks to the heart, and I think it's something that so many people struggle with. Thank you for showing where the hope is in the midst of the despair a lot of us have. It is so true how we so often listen to the lies of this world instead of dwelling on Christ.
