Embracing Love: The Journey from Darkness to Light

2–3 minutes

Friends of Love

Night falls. Still and present, we see each other standing before the other as the light shimmers in our eyes.

In the darkness, we unite closer than ever. We share our thoughts, feelings, and deepest secrets. This continues until the daylight sun beams on our bodies. We are one now, together talking our truths.

That’s what friends are for.


The Knight Time Drip

Heaven Cry—The passage of time leads to no other way but to victory. Keep moving onward as a Christian soldier. Let love grasp your being. Be made free by all the miseries and dregs put upon you.

On a beautiful summer’s day, a father (Papa) and daughter sit together under a vibrantly growing apple tree. Both happily enjoy their freshly picked apples while they catch some much-needed shade from the hot noontime sun.


Daughter: Papa. How were we before time stopped and the smoke cleared?

Papa- A batch of fools wandering in our own filth! Happy to be a slave. We did what we were taught to do, rejoicing in all the folly this world could behold. There was sadness in many lands, and hearts waxed cold as ice. Those who lived in kindness and love faced crushing oppression. Their tears, blood, and bones cried out from the ground for justice. Our souls were weak, but many were strong. We waited for divergence, and a delivery came.

Daughter— And what did this delivery do?

Papa- He healed the land and the souls of man. healed the sick, Raised the dead, cast out evil spirits, and even brought people back to life. He lived, died, rose again, and lives, offering humanity a path to freedom.

Daughter: Freedom from what, Papa?

Papa—evil Pure evil. You see, child, evil comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. The only remedy to defeat this evil is to reject it. Accept the deliverer who came to give us life. We can have life more abundantly through him. He taught the world that good always conquers evil and how love is the way. The creator of everything sent him to us so he could wash all our ugly, evil ways. He always makes our hearts white as snow. He even allows us to live happily forever.

Daughter-Wow, that’s great! We can live forever?

Papa—Yes.

Daughter- I love the delivery. What is his name?

Papa—Yahushua, some people call him Jesus.

Daughter, I love you, Jesus… Thank you for saving us! Did he hear me?

Papa (smiles): Yes, actually, I believe so.

Daughter (laughs): Yay! [suddenly she jumps up joyfully spinning her body as she whirls into a celebratory dance before sitting again next to her smiling father.]
