Miners in Chile.

Imagine spending 69 days trapped in a place of darkness not knowing whether you'll make it through those day. Not knowing if you'll make it another day. Not knowing whether you'll ever get to see the light of day again. Now open your eyes. Now look in the mirror. You are there already.
Just like the 33 miners in Chile that hit the news stations all over the world. They too were trapped in pure darkness. Not knowing whether they'd live.
How are we any different.
What makes you think that you are not trapped in a hole of pure darkness?
What makes you think you're in a better position then those miners were in while trapped?
Some people spend their lives living in a hole of hopelessness and fear. They live in a pit of darkness that makes them question the days left they have on this earth. This pit may be a hole of the sins you may have committed. It may be a hole of lies you've told. A hole of people you hurt, or a hole of those you haven't forgiven. Whatever the circumstance that brought you to this darkness, there's still hope.
I apply this incident to the readers of this blog, but what makes me so special that I need not to apply it to myself?
His name is Jesus.
Why do I, Jessica Guerrero, not find myself in a black hole? Because I was saved long long ago.
I was rescued from that caved in mine. I was pulled out from the depths of the ground. I was cleansed and given life. Eternal life. Yeah, sometimes there's those days when we wish to return to that hole. We wish to return to the wrong that put us there in the first place. But thats where we stand firm. That's where we can rely on God.
The miners too were very fortunate to have been rescued from that hole a couple days ago. But what made the story truly touching for me was the fact that they chose to be saved by Jesus whom died on the cross for our sins. They cared for their souls to be saved first, rather than their carnal bodies.
And that made the ultimate difference.

God is so good all the time.
