| Devil's Den |
The mind, the most powerful instrument or organ God ever
created. It has the power to creature
beauty or bring destruction. It is the
source of words and actions that can restore life or steal it away. It can be like a raging bull, unable to be
controlled or corralled. It can be a
diligent conductor, directing the mouth and body to do things of strength and
honor. It can go mad, it can be
brilliant. The mind is so intriguing,
yet so dangerous. We try to understand
it, try to quiet it. At times we attempt
to control it or want to erase it. How
can we truly understand it?
I have seen my mind feel broken and weak; it has been wild
and a blur. I have seen it be brilliant
and beautiful, creative and loving. I
have seen the full spectrum of emotion and thought travel through this organ
that is my brain. I understand hate, I
understand loathing and darkness. I
understand longing and loneliness. I
have seen my mind wish for death, long to be brought to its end. I have seen it yearn for the future and dream
of the beyond. It has gone wild and has
been halted to a complete stop. At times
I fear my mind, I fear what it will think, what it will long to do. Will I lose it, will I forget it. It is the one thing that without we are
nothing. It defines us, makes us the
personality we are. No matter how far
science advances, the mind is the one thing that cannot be recreated or
replaced. We can create limbs and
replace organs, graft skin and grow hair, rebuild bone and restore tissue but
the mind is irreplaceable.
Can anyone control this raging lion that stirs in my
skull? He roars and lashes demanded to
be noticed, commanding to be heard. My
mouth at times opens in a flood of words or remains locked to imprison the
whirling inside. The only peace I have,
the only tamer of my thoughts, the one who can conquer the raging beast, He is
the only one who can see the depths of my turmoil, bring light to my darkness. He has gone to the depths physically,
mentally and emotionally yet was not defeated by the beast that resides there. He defeated the beast that lurks in the
darkness and whispers his detestable lies into my ears. Jesus Christ alone has been the only true
tamer of this ravenous creation that is my mind!
