"A few years before I had come out of a very dark place. A cage of sorts. I had been deeply betrayed, and had built a thick wall around myself. I thought I was safe there...where no one could hurt me again....but...I began to disappear. I withdrew from people...from love....from God. Outward I went through the motions, but inward...I was fading. It was only through The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saint's 12 step program, that I finally learned how powerless I was. There was such hope and peace in that knowledge. I determined to find healing for my spirit and to have joy again. After months of meetings and working, I was beginning to see light again, and feel hope in the promises of God. One day as I was exercising, I was pondering on the efforts of the Savior on my behalf. I was granted a vision of sorts... in this vision I was sitting on the ground, my back against the wall of a cage, it was dark - and I felt terrible. Dark, angry, so hurt. I looked up and through a door in the cage was a hand reaching towards me. It was Jesus Christ. I knew as I looked at Him that He had come all the way down the twisted path I had taken,and had found me to bring me out. I took His hand. He walked back the same twisted path with me...until we came back to light. To hope. To life. ....I cried as I exercised....I knew this had really happened. That He had really come...for me...and that He had been with me all along. I love Him for this." - Haley Miller
