I need a hero, I need someone who will save me, rescue me and fight for me. I need someone who will take me out of the fire and show me great, inspirational power. I need a man who will come and clear the way for me. This is what I used to think over and over again and then it happened to me and now I have never turned back. I now, know a man who is my hero and he has shown me what it means to go into the fire and come out untouched by the flames. I do not know how he did this, or why after all I have done to turn away from his love in the past, but all I know is, he did. He saved me, he rescued me, there is no other way to put it. Fire is pretty, flipping scary, but the truth is, it is not so as terrifying when a hero comes into the fire with you and then pulls you out of it. Everyone has heard of the story Radshack, Meshack and Abendigo and it is just as relevant today as it was then. They went into a fire and so did the man who saves them because of their pure- sincerity. I am painfully aware that the world today is not a perfect place (far from it) and it is inevitable we are going down hill and not progressing. I am more driven to know God now then ever because this world needs a hero too.
My life has been a roller coaster ride full of ups and downs, but I am safe and secure when I am aware of someone sitting with me on this scary ride telling me, do not be afraid, for I am with you. This man is not condemning, scary or religious. He is loving, gracious and mighty to save. This makes me feel more secure then anything else in this world could ever make me feel. I think when you get hurt in life it is easy to run, escape, become bitter, hate the world or worst of all, fantasize death, but life has purpose, it has meaning because true love does exist. A love so powerful it can shake you, make you and mold you. The only thing this love asks of you is, your heart and no holding back. I think once you get to a place of such pain this love becomes more and more appealing because without love it is hard to see a way out. Obviously the opposite of love is hate and hate just leads to turmoil. I am aware that pain can do a number of things on a person, but there is someone who is waiting, watching and eager to give love to you, real and life giving love and take away the suffering you may have in this world. He is eager to get his children back, how beautiful, how incredible is this! It is perfect love that casts out all fear.
