God has incredibly strange, but effective, ways of revealing things to us.
I've been trying to take this little bit of pain in my life in stride.
I don't like feeling like this but I can't help it. God has put such a burden
on my heart for a friend. I always thought that if a close friend was being
this incredibly stupid, if they were messing their life up and in turn hurting me...
I thought I would just separate myself from them. But the compassion
God calls us, as believers, to have simply won't let me do that. I just want to pray
for this friend and help her and encourage her, reassure her that God IS there
and that he IS NOT giving up on her. That he is listening, that he does have a plan
for her life. That she's simply not doing her part. God tests us...and he's testing her.
Which is consequently testing me. Oh my... So I have been praying for her, it seems like
non stop. Praying isn't the hard part, however. Keeping hope is the hard part.
God offers us a hope that never disappoints and I lose sight of that sometimes...I'm trying
to focus on that hope right now, because I know if I trust in God He will bring my friend
through this, He will change her from the inside out.
I praise God for this suffering because when the suffering is over I will be able to rejoice because my God will have once again changed a life.
my my my...
So is the flesh weak and the spirit willing?
Or is Jesus inside a building?
the rituals, rules and things we make up,
it takes so much to wake us up to trade the funding and turn the cheek,
to exchange the proud in for the meek to say to our reflections
"I deny you"
feel the splintering wood on my back and follow
You love the men who drove nails through your wrists
I know enough to know that love does exist
if you bled for the fakes that are just like me
why do I want to make all the fakes bleed?
Jesus, forgive us...
we know not what we do
Jesus have mercy on us,
I am what I hate, but I want to be just like you
