A Different World - The Story

Time has no meaning. Yesterday was the same as today and tomorrow will be the same. There is a different world in everyone's mind. It is a world of perception and each world is unique. In those minds time is only as they percieve it, how they choose to use it, not certain how it will end. Time is a container for dreams and hopes and ... it has a dead line!

In my own world I can bend space and time. I can fold it in the middle and make the ends meet where the past becomes the future and the present is but a mist that lingers like a bad memory.

In my own world the doors all stay closed and the windows are shaded in colors of grey. My roof is light that dims only before the dawn and gives me peace for a new day.

In my own world I am the creature that stalks through the night. I am the eyes that glare from the branches above and I am the shiver that quakes your spine! I am the darkness that lives in your doubts.

In my world I am the monster in your child's closet. I am the eyes under his bed that wait for his feet to touch the ground. I am the moment of hesitation that caused the fear to flicker in his eyes. I am the scream that left your lips before your breathe quit.

In my world I am what ever I want to be, when I want to be it!I speak at my own command and I listen to no one! I am the chill in the night and the rays of the sun that sear your flesh.

In my own world I am lonely for I am the product of my own fears. I listened to the world and became what I am. I forgot God, but He didn't forget me! I was lost, but now am saved!

In my own world I am no longer of the world itself for the King of Kings ruled over my fears and I began to listen. Yet, I am not perfect. I strive to be more like Him. Not of my world , but of the Kingdom to come!

In HIS world I am a child of God and an heir to the throne! In His world I am worthy! In my own world I was not. How much better to live in His world ... to know the promise and joy of His eternal grace in Heaven!

In your own world you can come to know the Saviour! To bridge the gap of sin and fear. And you may come to know the peace as only the Saviour can give. It is your choice ... the world or the Way. There are living waters waiting for you!
