I stood in the rain all night, fearing what lies beyond the bridge ahead. A ghostly image that I can barely remember haunts me still.
Was it real? Did my Lord really show me what lies ahead in my many years to come? A beautiful life, with many happier times. Such purpose to my now seemingly meaningless life.
How can I be sure what lies ahead is really the sunshine and blue sky that was shown to me as the tears fell like rain all night. All that is left is the faint image of the cross on the right side of the passage. But even in daylight I can see it.
It's real!
My Lord wants me to live! I was created for a purpose, and I will eventually see it, live it. All I have to do is keep to the road ahead. Just another bridge to cross.
I began this for Samantha H's contest about a picture, but I see it will fit quite well in the contest titled "Suicide", don't you think?

It seems like the character was feeling suicidal, but saw what God had in store, and has had a sudden change of heart. It's amazing how much can be said with so few words, and even more amazing how many different interpretations there can be!
I guess if you were feeling suicidal and felt like life was only going to get worse, but then you saw your future and that it got better, I guess you would reconsider death. Nice write.
Thanks for joining my contest,
