I stare at the piece of blank parchment, and wonder what can I leave behind for years to come. What should I tell everyone? Which story will leave the most positive effect?

Encourage the weak, and promote intellect.

Maybe I can talk about my addiction to drugs and alcohol, or trouble with men, then most importantly the Damascus Call.

Maybe I can tell them about the day that Christ said my name, the day He asked me to do a work for Him, the day He cured me from being in-humane.

When I look death face to face directly in the eye, what do I say to speak everlasting life?

See I know what its like to be encouraged and lose it ten seconds later, so I strive to be more effective-- to remove completely not just move temporarily.

I know what its like to ask yourself over and over, "Whats wrong with me?" and the one supposedly encouraging you asks the same question taking your last amount of peace.

I understand whats its like to be dead and still alive, and while everybody is wondering about you they have no idea that you are God's most precious prize.

So to you I say rise, and if you are unable- hold on I declare that you will not be stuck in demise.

At the time when you least expect when you are done and gone that's when God's mercy and grace will effectively come along.

You will be transformed from a Prodigality to the Prodigy.
