indelible

I will never forget the night you found me. Naked, hungry, whimpering in the shadows of the streets. Reminding myself with the pain of a blade of the places I'd been and how they'd brought me here. Life took me by the neck and threw me around for a while. One of those stories...you said you'd never end up here, and yet here you are. That's what my life was when you found me: bleak, depressing, and pointless. Hopeless.
And then there you were. In the midst of my pain and my self-inflicted rage, You reached down into the murky mess of my heart and brought me close to You. Said it was okay, said there was hope, that I'd never thirst again. You put a cup of life to my lips and I drank deep of a love I'd never known before. You fed me with Your words of truth and I was more than satisfied, yet hungry for more. It was like an experience I'd never known, and all because You decided to love on me for a change, instead of being like the rest of the world and just loving me when it meant You'd get Your dues eventually.
This was the indelible mark you left on my soul: You touched my heart and burned right through it, consumed it, and it became whole. You brought me life in the midst of my death. Where rot and ruin should be my master, I have enslaved myself to Your Lordship. I am captured by this love that sucked me in.
