Lonely Road

i was walking a black, dark, lonely road and the fear inside of me, i'm sure had shown. then i reached to my neck, and took my cross in my hand and prayed to the LORD above for his guidance and his love, and that i may see some light. when in front of me a figure stood with a bright light radiating from him. and the road turned from night to day and i was able to walk my merry way. they said that there was a total blackout that night. and how did i get back, without a flashlight? when i told them, what i had seen they all began to ridicule me. all the elders from the town looked at me with a frown. how can that possibly be when it never happened to me? i am the pastor of this congregation and we have searched for our salvation. then here you come and claim you saw a light radiating from a figure in front of you and you expect us to believe you too. are you saying that you're better than us for in GOD we also put our trust. why would he choose you and not me? this is something i can not see. MAYBE! it's because i was on the road to destruction and this sign was my obstruction. and if that is not enough for you: look at my hand which i held the cross just so that you could see that the sign is embedded in me. ++ ++++++++++
