The Serpent Within (one of my inspirational stories I read)


I grew wicked each day as I unleashed the serpent within. Someone I had in my contact with in the past bestowed it to me. I searched for men for a sweet revenge and not long did I see them. As the serpent ate them slowly, it made me stronger to watch them suffer the way they too had caused me. I cried blood as I realized the events. I made the innocent suffer and the source of it all continuously burned me in hell.


Yet in spite of it all, I didn't see myself being attached with the Source. I pitied them. I tried to communicate to some but they were already deafened by my angelic words while the others who survived went on to pass the gift they received. My revenge was not the success I wanted but it was a failure instead. It was not because I made them suffer but because it doubled the serpent's weight inside me.


So I went away to find a sanctified place to tame it, afraid it might strike again. Along the journey, those who did not know me completely still trusted and welcomed me as I tried to tame and control it.


As I worked hard to overcome the serpent, I saw an adversary at sight, a Being-a man. Well I thought he was, but no, He's different from the others who come across the trail. He offered assistance to tame. More to that he outdid the serpent itself. He lure me to His arms, I regained my senses back to the ground and I get acquainted with reality again. I thank him for doing such.


As I am now with him, I would dare not insult this Perfect Being. I shall be at his service at all times and honor Him for the great things He has don, not only earthly but also to me. It is not yet the end of all this. The serpent will live again as it nourishes itself from the insect of the ground. But by then, the Being and I shall be ready to teach it to withdraw and come back no more.


As of now I am on I know I am safe.
