Often times I hear it in the air
How you need to be tough, street smart and not so emotionally available
because people will hurt and take advantage of you.
That’s true
So all around are souls walled by past hurts and grief
Walking around like arrows heads barbed and ready to sting at the slightest provocation
The result?
A multiplication of bruised hearts in the form of children
Expressing their anger in messy relationships
walking and testing the waters of sexuality.
If we were to peel off the masks of toughness, prideful promiscuity, tattooes, drugs & alcohol
we really will find bleeding children.
Who just stayed in the attic of their hearts and only come out to play with their favourite toys of escape.
But you dear Christian
Let me tell you..
You will be hurt
Your heart can and will take it
For pain is part of the very walk and nature of God as demonstrated by the weeping of Jesus
When our humanity clashes with pain, our faith finds His comfort
In darkness we find light
In pain we find faith
and there’s really no way around it
To you the person who thought you hurt an innocent soul
Yes you did
You found in them a naive gullible outlet for the inconsistency of your character
It’s true they opened up their hearts and believed you.
But did you know that was God?
God showing you a glimpse of His light
Did you know through their naivety God was showing you how posssible and tangible His light is?
Nevermind their hurt, He’s their father and He knows how to heal them.
But the message was for you..
That not everyone is like you
That everyone can be like Christ
In this dark dark world
That God has hope in humanity through Christ and He will sacrifice His very own
Give them up for their hearts to bleed on the cross of your wickedness.
Just to save you from yourself..
So before you go beating your chest in pride as to how many gullible hearts you’ve been able to deceive
Think on this,
Plot twist : – you are missing the point.
Slowly killing your own heart..
The tragedy of it all.
