Years ago… a Christian friend of mine.. shared his thoughts with me.. regarding the song “Man In The Box” by Alice in Chains..💥he explained to me how the song was demonic and evil.. because of the line.. “Jesus Christ..deny your maker”… and I’ve had others in my life try and say the same thing… but the song is not that at all… it’s the deep cry and lament of a man… lost in life… lost in addiction.. a man who feels hopeless… a man that knows he’s in💥trouble and dying… a man fighting the demons… a man crying out…… for Jesus…. ((is the song influenced by evil? For sure.. but there’s a lot of good happening here also.. God is trying to reach Layne.. I’m focused on the man crying… I care about him… not the demons))…..💥
…….?=/~><`
Layne believed… he knew God was real.. he knew God was his only hope… he was💥longing for HIM… he just felt so far away… he didn’t know how to get there… he was blinded by his life… this is what drug💥addiction does… I know… I’ve been there…
…….,’⇘†⇗`
Layne’s story is so sad to me… because I was just like him… but there’s hope for us all💥today…. you dont have to feel like Layne and me….☝️….. there is one💥standing at the door of your heart… knocking…💥

Layne was beautiful… I pulled for him… I prayed for him… makes me sad… that he ended like he did… he died alone… in his apartment… of an overdose… don’t you end like this… get up stand up… wake up… answer the door… ☝️💥💯🏳🪜✝️
