my weakest point ...by Lamide Johnson

..
. 

It was one hell of a blow

A deadly one I must say

An absolute knock out!

I saw a bright flash as the hands
of my opponent washed over my face.

Suddenly the boxing ring seemed to whirl away,

..and I fell down rock hard

I could hear the crowd cheering loud

People I thought were on my side 
began to rejoice at my falling

My opponent – Sin, was excited!!!

For I could feel him bask in the
glory of his strength

Once again, he won,

Or so I thought.

He knew my weakness, my weaknesses.

A good boxer will capitalize on 
the weak spot of his opponent.

Sin was definitely the best in the game.

 Immediately I Iet my guards down 
and strayed off the highway of righteousness

He sent a dart I couldn't avoid,

A scar I earned

The referee rushed to my side, 

upon sighting me take a fall

And began to hit the base
of the boxing ring for the
inevitable countdown

 “One!” He shouted

I tried to drag my weak body up,
 but my knees wobbled ceaselessly

I was so disappointed the crowd
cheered away, not caring about the pain I felt

 “Two!” This time, he wasn't the 
only one counting, the crowd had joined him

I’d never felt so limp before,
it seemed like I was drained

I dreaded the ‘number three’, 
If it did come I’d lose the round, again

And then, like hearing a distant echo,
I heard the last count…”Three”

However, something amazing happened

The bell did not ring

The victor, Sin, was not given the crown

 The next word I heard was “Four,”
“Five,” “Six, Seven, Eight, Nine……..”

And on, and on.

The crowd went dead silent,
only the Referee counted on

I looked into His eyes, and
saw compassion, love and mercy

And He whispered to me

 “I’d count till a million if that’s
what it takes for you to get up
and win this match, with me by
your side, you can never fail!”

 I could only mumble some words,
until I drifted away

 I needed no one

I had all I needed

And He was by my side...Grace.
