I am a man that made a terrible mistake. I fell in love with a woman named Delilah, who figured out the secret to my strength after I told her where it was. She kept nagging me and wouldn’t leave me alone. More than twice she asked what made me so strong and got frustrated each time I unknowingly misled her. I didn’t know she wanted to harm me. If I‘d known, I never would have met her. I regret that I told her my strength was in my hair, for the Philistines took me and gouged my eyes out. Nevertheless, God allowed my locks to grow back and my strength to be regained. Once my strength was renewed, I asked God one last favor. My prayer was to not only defeat the Philistines, but to die with them. Even though I suffered the same fate as my enemies, I thank my God that justice prevailed in the end.

I often wonder what my story would’ve read if I didn’t allow myself to be enticed, bedazzled and tricked by Delilah. I‘ll tell you this much (though), if I had a second chance at life or could do it all over again, I’d like to think I’d use better judgment with whom I associate and consider a confidant.

I hope those who read my story will look at it as more than just an illustration. I want them to look at it as a lesson on succumbing to temptation, which can damage the spiritual well-being of a Christian.

Thank you for reading about me in the Book of Judges. Keep living for Jesus and let no one separate you from His love.

Sincerely and with love,
Samson

Mind was gone. Once I get a thought, I write it all down til I'm done. Got creative and did this as if Samson was talking.
