The night is when your emotions prey on you and feast on your souls, creating a void of emptiness.
It's easy to let ourselves be affected.
No matter the circumstances, our emotions somehow take over us.
Being emotional is not common.
Because they just dwell within ourselves!
We are not born with fear and anger.
But we ourselves opened a door for them.
They slowly sneak in
They accumulate.
They take our shape and mimic us.
What are you feeding yourself with?
What you feed yourself will become you.
Watching people fight lately?
Laughing at adult jokes?
Consuming negativity?
Do you think murderers and rapists were born to be as they are? No.
It's because they were shaped into what they are.
They were tamed by the beasts they created.
What they do is because what shaped them.
We don't get angry and throw stuff around without observing others doing the similar.
We don't taint ourselves before marriage without knowing the forbidden fruit.
These happened because we allowed the minor to occur.
These happened because we had let our guards down over the small things.
All things are permissible but not all are beneficial (ref: [1 Corinthians 10:23])
We can do anything we want because of our free will.
But whether does it help us is another story.
Sugar coating or not,
Little or not,
As long as it is as it is,
Something that can do us harm,
Something that will misguide our path,
We must never lay our hands on it.
It's important to do so because our lives will get strongly influenced.
Or perhaps you think that you are fine.
Being alone and minding your own business.
Getting infused with whatever entertainment you can get.
But maybe you didn't realize that you are in an addiction.
Always seeking for things to fill up your boredom, to rid of the empty feelings.
Researchers say that people are who get into addictions are usually lonelier than others.
To be honest, I am one who can easily get addicted.
I so easily let the void within me consume myself.
But how did it end up like this?
How did the void grow so huge I needed to fill it up with endless entertainments.
Well, it's because I allowed the emptiness to stay.
I remember someone once told me this:
"Every time we pray for forgiveness and God to cleanse us of our sins.
The devil runs away from our hearts because we had chased him out.
But sometimes, we didn't clear out the devils luggage.
So every now and then, the devil returns to our hearts and claims it as it's home."
And here lies a major truth many Christians have trouble grasping on.
Giving our all to Jesus, releasing our locus of control in our own lives.
Yes, I sometimes feel insecure letting some-One take over my future.
I sometimes feel as if I can't fully accept Him as well.
My grip towards other worldly things is strong.
My denial towards submission is strong as well.
I have led selfishness and a cold heart to me without knowing so.
And this is why I'm struggling.
This is depressing, but I know I have a Father in Heaven who still accepts me.
Something that I would want to meditate on every single day.
*Some notes for you who are reading this:
1. This is not a Halloween post.
2. I only drew these creepy things because it's what I can relate to.
3. I'm a Christian who's still learning to "let go and let God".

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. - [Luke 6:45, NKJV]

Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? - [Psalm 139:7, NKJV]And here's another Bible verse from the same chapter as I end this post:
Something that I would want to meditate on every single day.
Search me, O god, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting. - [Psalm 139:23-24]
