Behold, The Anorthosis

It doesnt look like much, but these lines tell my story. I made this symbol to represent the straight path, the broken path of which I strayed unto, and the moment those paths merged and my life was changed forever.

The center verticle line represents Orthos. The upright, straight and narrow way, Hamartia, the jagged downward strike through, the straying of my faith, and Metanoia is the returning intersection... It symbolizes that what’s crooked can turn back towards God.

My story is one that I feel many of you could potentially relate to. Maybe you strayed from Him for years. Got yourself into hell on earth like I did. Went through some horrible stuff that broke you. Crippled you. Only to come crawling back to He who welcomes the return of His lost sheep with only love and mercy in His sight.

Sometimes it takes hitting rock bottom to see that the way you are living isnt the way you should be. Through the veil of pain and suffering one can truely see the hands of God at work when He pulls you out of it even when you dont even want to. When He is your crutch, your shepherd, your rock, He can pull you from that hell of your own making.

Took alot for me to realise that He is the absolute only way to navigate such a cruel and evil world. I almost didnt make it, but man- My God, oh my God am I a lucky and greatful man. I owe my all to Yahweh. My existence is dedicated to Him. Though I may struggle everyday -wage war with myself everyday- I know that by the very blood of His Son whom He sent to die in my place am I saved and will be with Him in Paradise one day.

I struggle. I sin. I doubt. Yet, I worship His holy name.

Yahweh, God of all things good and holy, thank you from the depths of my soul, for saving my life.

My God, My God, Yahweh.

CHRISTUS REX
