The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters...Gen 1:2

Ever feel pulled in a direction, emotion or state of mind you can't seem to escape? A black hole can suck the life out of anything in the universe, even light. Can your faith survive one?
Black holes are completely invisible. We can only observe their influence on the galaxies that surrounds them. Try to get in for a closer look and your a goner the nanosecond you cross the event horizon i.e. the point of no return.
A similar (unnamed) law of nature states that if you focus too much on your own problems, you'll get pulled in indefinitely. You can then become a walking black hole that starts sucking life from those around you. The polar opposite of a life-giving Christian.
The book of Genesis always blows my mind. Ever notice that water, light, seeds and plants existed before there ever was a sun (or black hole) in the heavens? (Day 4) The source of all life is completely and supernaturally found in God.
The Lord can speak light into your emotional black hole and pull you out of it's grip by the gravity of His will. A mature and rooted faith is one that's seen a few holes and survived. It's source of light is no longer found in the vacuum of circumstance, but in the unchanging power of the God.
Which force will your faith surrender to this week?

hum... I was just feeling that way. And I named that sensation just like that: a black hole. I haven't seen before an analogy for this, besides from mine, so, it was curious to find what you wrote.
And yeah... if you focus in those problems that much, you feel as if light was going out.
Until recently, I don't know what would I have thought about the God things you mention, but after being in contact with some information, I can realize nowadays that indeed, it is a matter of choice: Letting being sucked by your own depressive spiral, or letting God's Will return you to the place where we all belong, which is peace and love.
It doesn't matter if something seems too dark... if you don't want, you can swim back and let the light fall into your heart again.
