Passing Thoughts

Hebrews 10:22

22let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

I have nothing to add....

The battle started long ago...It seems an age and a half since there was any rest, I was on their side it seems half of that time, maybe more. Before I found out what they where. You can't make out their faces through the fog and it's hard to see them coming....Sometimes the elders can sense them coming but alas our enemies are like shades. I joined this army A short time ago but already I have seen war.... Once my eyes became clear, as if something on the breeze whispered to me in an inaudible voice only just so I could hear it...."Wake up..... It's time"

I lay on the ground pondering this as I stare up to what used to be sky only 2 years past, my body aches with blows from various arrows but they only sting and bruise me, they explode into dust on impact but the visions they carry make me fall in agony and cry out to the Heavens...His cry to me is "Get up again...Strengthen your armor, draw near to my forge and I will make it strong"

Our king is a good King he knows us, every one of us soldiers, he's been king for many many centuries. Most don't even know when he started as king but there are rumors...Some even say he created this land, I on the other hand have never seen him to ask him if it where true...But I believe...Because the shades are a part of the kingdom past and he used to rule them, before the dark one poisoned their minds and turned a third of the army against the king...Though we call him the dark one many have said his armor shone brighter than the sun and he looked glorious...If our soldiers didn't know who he was they would have been tempted to follow...But they where rescued and pledged their allegiance to the king....Some still fall..But we...

The howl of another defeated shadow... "Who is this that fights with such ferocity, that he can fight without even seeming like he's moving and defeat these shades with a word...And send them running?"......I wonder.

He reaches out his hand to me...."Come...Get up, it's time to arise and awaken"
