Dreamscape

From a friend who is writing for our churches College and Career class, loved it so much I asked him if I could post it. It sorta reminds me of "Trust You":

[A young man's dreamscape. Out of the blackness there comes a Voice.]

You stand alone
Or so you are told
Or so you say
But that is not so
I have chosen you
Though you are fallen
Though you have much sorrow
You are not through

[The young man sees his past. Empty and void. A meaningless existence where his sole purpose was to fulfill his own ambitions]

You were alone
You were dead
You were a slave
You were undone
You were adrift
You were depraved
The rebel against Me
The one who mocked Me

[More past experiences replay themselves in front of his eyes. All his past failures. The broken family. The corrupt friends. The ruined lives. The late nights.]

But this was not the end for you
There was more in life you had to do
I had a plan
I had a path
And so I pulled you up out that pit
I gave you a new soul and spirit

[The young man travels along through his past after his transformation.]

From broken to banished
I will give you a new family
Your old friends have vanished
I will give you friends to last eternity
Your life was aimless
I will give you goals to achieve
Your spirit was shattered
I will reforge it, and restrengthen it

[The man has visions of what may lie ahead. He is scared. He knows that it will be difficult and has doubts about his ability to accomplish his tasks. But the Voice speaks again.]

Yes you are right
This will not be an easy fight
The darkness is strong
It has a will, malevolent and deep
The darkness is cunning
And will not be broken easily
It is strong, a cancer to all
And often it may seem hopeless to fight on

[The young man wakes up. It is morning. The Voice speaks to him again, a feeling of warmth and peace around him.]

But there is one thing the darkness cannot defeat
And this is My power over darkness
And this is My command to you
Love will be the darkness' defeat
Love is a movement
Love is a revolution
The redemption, as I loved you
The innovation, as by it I have changed you
Love is a candlelight in the dark
For all to see, near and far
You are to be that light
Go now, forgiven and strengthened by My might
