In the midst of darkness I was not alone

Lately I hve felt a dryness, a sense of loneliness which is common in a spiritual journey. I know better than to base my relationship with Christ off emotions but lately it's been more difficult.

Yesterday I was able to receive the sacrament of reconciliation. 

And it was beautiful knowing that though I am a sinner I am loved.

Christ will never forsake me, his love covers all sin.

Christ draws near to us despite the dirt on our souls, despite the darkness we dwell in and the grave we bury ourselves in. 

We keep ourselves in a dark corner huddled and cradling our sin all we have ever known and think the weight of it ours. Christ yearns to rid us of our burden./Come to me all who are weary  and burdened and I will give you rest Matt 11:28/We choose to ignore His love that he offers us. He is always there in the midst of darkness; we are not alone.
