"My mom took me to see 50 shades of grey"
A 14 year old told me that today. Fourteen. Barely a young woman and her mom took her to see a pornographic movie. I fell out. I wanted to sit in the floor and cry, jump around and yell, ask for her mom's phone number. Fourteen.

Thankfully, blessedly, there is more to my story....God's story really. I do not understand why or how or the purpose. Nor would could I wrap this all up in a pretty bow and call it done. Again, I am simply and prayerfully opening a door for you to peek into a time in my life in the hope you will be encouraged. Still, if you would like to comment you may. If it is profane, hurtful, or derogatory the comment will be deleted. "Roses are red, I have a phone, no one texts me....Forever alone." Seriously?? I am not looking forward to all of the Forever Alone posts I will see from people today. Quit. It. Seriously. Stop. Here's the bottom line..... in Christ, you are never alone. Were never....won't ever....be all alone. Since the beginning of the beginning God has sought to dwell with His people. In the garden, He walked with Adam and Eve. Leaving Egypt, He went before the people as smoke and fire. In the promised land He promised Joshua to go EVeryWhERE His people went. "Do not be discouraged for The Lord, your God, will be with you wherever you go." And guess what, we still serve the exact same God. Faithfully, thankfully, He doesn't change. So what is our problem? Most likely, We are our own problem. Either we don't know the promises of God, or we don't really care. Or we have simply let our focus slip from Heaven to here....from eternal to temporal. And we are not only hurting ourselves with this cleverly worded pity party....we are hurting our witness to the world....and if I could be so bold to say, we hurt the heart of God. You. Are. Not. Alone. I challenge you this Valentine's Day, and every day, to live like it. Love like it. Act like it. You share the gift of life when you tell others of the oneness you share with Christ. A gift that, obviously, most of the world craves!! No one wants to feel alone, or like no one in the world cares for them. Don't you think God put that desire in is on purpose? To drive us to Himself in our need to be 100% loved? Because, that is what He does. Calls us. Draws us. And no matter where you look in this world you will not find love like that in another person. Only through Jesus. So the next time you hear someone say "forever alone" share the gift of Jesus. You are loved, completely, by God. So are your friends.....tell them! I found love......His name is Jesus. |
