Leaving the darkness | Motivation and Overcoming through resilience.

This is me and my beloved friend Napoleon : D

Today life smiles at me and today I can count one new story, but there was a moment where it was not like that. I want to share a little of my history, the story of how I was able to overcome some obstacles and get up with more strength from a hole so deep that very few return.

It was at the age of 15 years where I began to enter a world of unreal, create a fantasy in which my life felt safe and happy, but sadly empty and was not real and even worse I was consuming little by little without stopping, until you reach the bottom and a deep bottom, in the sad world of vices and drugs. It was at this stage of adolescence that he was driven by problems at home, lack of love and examples in the home, without his own will and without dreams. I met and entered the world of rock and drugs. I wanted to try everything, say I controlled it, but the truth this term controlled me, until I decided to leave it, but it was too late.

TOUCHING BACKGROUND

I remember that night, where my friends and I toured the streets of my city at midnight, we were driven by a longing for freedom, a desire for new experiences, that would give life to our fantasies of living in a world without rules. Until you are alone, with a heart attack, only in your room counting the seconds, to move to what will be a certain death.

EL SALMO 23

I have heard many times that life always gives you a psalm, and also that there are psalms born of hard experiences, psalms that mark your life forever. Well that is my case. There in the solitude of that room surrounded by darkness, this Psalm appeared in my life, placed carefully in the window of my room, there was Psalm 23. And I heard that God was saying to me:

I am the Lord your Shepherd and nothing will be missing Even if you walk in valleys of shadows and death, I am with you.

It was like a whisper in my ear, taking away all my pain, blowing over all my evil and darkness filling that dark moment with light, giving me a peace that would last little for who I was at that time, an addict and slave of darkness.

GOD LOOKS FOR YOUR LIFE.

Those were some of the supernatural providences that my great God made to win my soul, taking strategic steps to overcome me and fight a battle that would last for years, day after day, night after night, between light and darkness a book was battle for the life of Daniel.

Maybe you have felt this way or worse, and feel that you will not get out of that situation or place, I have a message: There is someone fighting for you, seeking your life tirelessly. God.

OVERCOMING AND RESILIENCE.

They say that we become stronger every time we overcome that which oppresses and persecutes us. They say that resilient people are those who manage to overcome obstacles without presenting emotional damages in the future that overlap more easily than others. I believe that it is so, and more when there an invisible Being fighting in the visible for you, so that you can rise and be who He has called you to be.

It will continue ...
