Forgive Me

I'm running. I turn to look back, and nothing. There's only darkness. I try to find the courage to run again, but I can't. It's just not there. I keep telling myself that if I don't keep running it will get me and I will have to face it. I stood there for awhile, and then I heard a voice:You can't keep running from your past Ramie. You will have to face it sometime. I looked around to see where the mysterious voice came from, but couldn't see anyone. I knew they were right. But how can I? The voice came again: You can with me. Let me help you. Come to me and confess, so I can forgive you. Forgive me? Why? I don't deserve to be forgiven! Not after what I've done! The voice: Here you are running from your wrongdoings because you think you can't be forgiven. I am giving you a choice. You can either keep running, or you can have peace with me. By confessing your sins, you're admitting to your wrongdoings and if you repent you can be forgiven. Then you won't have to live with the regret. The weight will be lifted from your shoulders! Trust me. The last two words the voice spoke echoed over and over again. I got down on my knees and I told everything. And I asked for forgiveness. My weights were lifted. I couldn't believe it! (I did of course) I gave thanks knowing that I would now have to get up, and face the world.
