Bound by 5 inches

([{To fully understand this picture you need to fathom that on marking your property here in Kenya is a wall that is about 6-10 feet high and around 5 inches think, that is was marks your land, keeps your privacy, and helps with random people coming in.}])

So this past week we were helping to do some improvements on a school that we have taught at and played with the kids. A one of the things we were doing was putting three new tire swings up for the kids so they can play on. I got the privilege (it was flipping awesome) to climb the trees that the tire swings were going to be on. [This was probably the coolest thing because, A. I felt like a kid cause I was climbing something and B. I also felt like a man cause I was doing labor with my hands that I new how to do, plus I got nicked and scratched from the trees! :D] The last tree I got the climb was a tree that branched out enough that I could see outside the school compound and got to see the world go on doing it’s business.
A thought came to my head when I saw these two totally different worlds, that were 5 inches away from each other. The thought was “WOW, look how much 6 inches can determine on how you look at the world.” (I thought it was 6 inches until I measured it)
Immediately after that I saw two totally different worlds, a world of Bondage that was bound by fear of the truth but at the same time it was curious what was on the other side. Also I saw a world that was full of Freedom going any direction the land can take it. The Bound world knew that if they tasted or experiences the Freedom that was just 5 inches away they would never want to go back into a world surrounded by walls. They could even hear people laughing, loud music, and movements of motion. At the same time they are thinking, “Why leave? We have everything we need here and we don’t know whats really out there, were safe here.” Still the curiosity of wanting to know “What is out there?” and to see what they hear everyday. The world of Freedom is so welcoming to share its liberty and joy.
He has his arm’s wide open, waiting for your arrive to the land of liberation.
Freedom is that close all you need to do is to step 5 inches from the Bondage.

Darkness Will Be Lost & Forgotten

As the sun is awakening from his sleep, it starts to shine his light on the darkness. Things become visible, sin is left to creep back into the sewers where it belongs. People want to be in the light where they can see but really, what is their heart crying out to do? It is torn between wanting to see, so it's able to do things of the day and getting in the darkness so it may do what it fills without exposing it's self. Even though the sun will begone and come back the next day, it wants to be in the dark. Thinking it will be satisfied, the longer in the dark the more it depends and gets held down by the heavy burden, craving a need for more and more. Just as it has had enough and can't take the height of the darkness, dawn starts to brake along the horizon, and it sees hope and redemption coming out of the valley. Once it catches the rays of the sun, it's restored, redeemed, cleansed, and a new. As it soaks up the radiant light its gets distracted by the thought of "night is coming" and it cannot stop it. Panicking frantically, running around not knowing what to do. Peace hit him and came over him saying "The dark will come, temptation will be knocking, creatures will be around the corner wanting and waiting to devour you. But, YOU MUST HOLD FAST and grip strongly to the truth and satisfaction of the coming light, for it is coming and we cannot stop. Even now in the darkness seems never-ending, painful, heavy, and thirsting. You have been restored, redeemed, cleansed, and made a new by the light. Again hold fast and push through for the sun will come again and utterly destroy the darkness. When it has devoured the darkness, the darkness will be obliterated. If ever in doubt look up to the moon is shows the coming of the light. The sun is coming quickly its just beyond the horizon, when it comes it will never leave. Darkness will be no more and light will prevail, no more suffering and torment for it is lost and forgotten. When in doubt look the the moon."
