Ok...So I'm going to get religous. I've been a born again christian most of my life. I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God and died for my sins on a cross. I know that a lot of people that I love and are very precious to me don't believe the same thing, so I try not to shove it down their throats. I also know that there was a time when I chose to be angy with God for things that were out of my control and I felt that God should've fixed them so I wouldn't have to hurt. I have also experienced times where even in the church I grew up in, people turned their back on me. Feeling like the "prodical son" sucks. And sure everyone is super (fake) happy to see you and "so glad you're feeling better", but still you know that somehow you just don't fit into the group anymore. Anyway, the point is...I know what its like to be both on the inside of the group and what it's like standing on the outside feeling like you are not worthy. Since when is Christ blood for those who are already christians or for those who live rightious lives. I now realize what it's like for those who didn't grow up in the church...who wants to feel like that. It's no wonder people who are lost and broken choose to go to "drugs, sex, and rock 'N' roll" instead of turning to the one thing that can really truly fill that whole that feels endlessly deep! This song sums it up perfectly
Does Anybody Hear Her
By: Casting Crowns
She is running
A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction
She is trying
But the canyon's ever widening
In the depths of her cold heart
So she sets ou on another misadventure just to find
She's another two years older
And she's three more steps behind
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even know she's going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonley people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
She is yearning
For shelter and affection
That she never found at home
She is searching
For a hero to rinde
To ride in and save the day
And in walks her prince charming
And he knows just what to say
Momentary lapse of reason
And she gives herself away
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even know she's going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
If judgement looms under every steeple
If lofty glances from lofty people
Can't see past her scarlet letter
And we've never even met her
If judgement looms under every steeple
If lofty glances from lofty people
Can't see past her scarlet letter
And we've never even met her
Never even met her
Does anybody hear her? Does anybody see?
Or does anybody even know she's going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her? Does anybody see?
He is running a hundered miles an hour in the wrong direction.
So why is it as a church we turn our backs on those who need it most. Since when do we get to decide who Christ died for. WE DON'T! He died for all of us. I promise that I will be accepting and try not to pass judgement on those who are in need. I want and will be an example of Christ and show people the things that he has saved me from, and how he has changed me. That is my promise to you!! Whoever reads this. Jesus wouldn't turn his back on you just because of your "scarlet letter" so neither am I.
