First draft, Light

Genesis 1:1-5
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning-the first day."


Before she read the Word, her life was formless and empty, and the darkness was all around and over her mind. Alrhough she had some love, faith, and hope, they did not stay in right place and just hovered around her soul. Her life was in a wrong way, such as money, fame, power, sex. She always felt that emptiness even though everyone seemed to love her. Once when formless emptiness overwhelmed her emotion and thought, she decided to commit suicide. She brought some Aspirins and locked herself into her room; however, the fear of pain, death and hell made her hesitated and heard the Word. Before calling the end of life, she opened the Book called "Holy Bible," and she heard the Word, "Everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16, NIV) She started to cry and the Word confirmed the message, "I have told you these things, so that in me hou may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." (John 16:33, NIV) In her dark, depressed mind and soul, the Word turned on the light, and she saw someone right next to her, who protect and guide her to save from the death. When she realized that she was not alone, the greatest peace covered her. Still she needed to be formed and fulfilled, the direction of her life changed to the right way, from the death to the eternal life.
