No Longer Crawling In The Dark

"Show me what it's for, make me understand it. I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer. Is there something more than what I've been handed? I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer." Crawling In The Dark by Hoobastank

What's the point? What is this life for? Why bother making it through one day of suffering only to discover that the dawn doesn't bring relief but rather more pain? Why spend a life hiding from the light that only seems to make the grotesque picture of life that much harder to take? This is how I felt for so much of my life. This was my existence. But even as I wallowed in my own filth in the darkness I prayed for an answer.

When I stopped screaming long enough to listen, I found my answer. There is a solution after all. And a life worth living is found as Switchfoot says between who you are and who you could be, between how it is and how it should be. Progress toward destiny, the journey is the purpose of life, and finding yourself walking the road to Emmaus with perfect companion and having that fellowship truly is the point of it all.

"Maybe redemption has stories to tell. Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell. Where can you run to escape from yourself? Where ya gonna go? Where ya gonna go? Salvation is here." Dare You To Move by Switchfoot
