Following clear footprintsby 김인주

 

 

As soon as I had opened the front door and taken a step, I [realized that] the world was pitch-dark.
In the jet-black darkness, the my grip on the door handle slightly comforted my heart.
After two or three seconds, the [front door] light turned on. I appreciated the light and deeply realized the power of light.

This split second was the longest, loneliest moment I had experienced alone in the darkness.

 

Every predawn, I close the front door behind me and take two or three steps in the darkness. These moments in darkness are when [I] raise the yearning toward the light and when [I] wake up the instinct of the truth.

My apartment is on the second floor of the commercial building, so the main gate is always open. However, because the fried chicken house closes at 2 AM, there is never anyone around the building [after that]. It is not a forest, so there are no mountain animals. What is this fear that I feel [in this early morning]?
This is a road that I take all the time, but at this moment I do not know where to step.

 

It must be the same with the lives who are far from God and who do not know the truth!

 

Where should I go?
How should I live?
Is this path that I am taking, thinking it to be the right one, truly right?
If [I] give my all [on this path] but then realize it is not the right one,
will I have a chance to turn back….?

 

At this moment when I fear the darkness that is without the truth, in this world that God has created, as I listen to the instructions for life, which the Creator God has been telling [me], I confidently take walk forward.
Following the clear, deeply imprinted footprints before me…
