Several years ago, I was sentenced to life in prison, but when I look at it in truth, I have become witness to a life worth living. It is as if God put me away only to preserve me for a brighter day. I have received many revelations since the beginning of my incarceration. Yes, I have received many revelations since the beginning of my incarceration. Now that I have grown, I can see that God has been training me in awareness. Throughout this journey, life has shown me that my life is not mine alone. Love has shown me that everyone deserves to live in peace.
Peace told me where to find Him, and lo and behold, peace is within me. I had a conversation with myself and learned more about God and the world as a whole. As I became one with the world, she revealed her sweet wisdoms to me. When wisdom whispered in my ear, my senses were awakened, and that’s when love came back into play. I have been enjoying the dance of love since that first day. Yes, I can say it’s a brighter day for me. Yes, I was sentenced to life in prison, but it is a brighter day for me.
I’m at peace with life, and all I see is brighter days for me. I created these prison walls that currently confine me. Now I will my life to be free of all forms of confinement, and therefore, I live a life filled with love and peace. I’ve grown wings, and I can fly. Prison is a state of mind. That’s what wisdom told me. Who am I to call her a lie when she speaks truth rooted in God’s glory? It was God who gave me life, and it’s not a life of confinement. It’s a life of love, and now is the time to live it. It’s a life of love, and now is the time to live it. My name is Ra Atem Hotep. Thank you.
