Let Love In

I’m once again at a loss for words. I’m often frustrated with life, I sit here in North America blessed with so much and yet it doesn’t bring any satisfaction. I know that there is so much more to life, all this “stuff” we have just gets in the way of what really matters. Perhaps it’s my circumstances, perhaps I’m just going through a dry spell. I want to be able to find the people who are hurting and help them. Tell them it’s okay to not have things figured out, I sure don’t. I want to tell them that in our brokenness that we can become something better. When we come to the place where we have nothing else there is a way out.

I don’t care who you are or what you’ve done. You’re an amazing person. Perhaps you don’t see that right now, maybe you don’t think you can ever be a good person. I use to think that way. I’ve had things in my life that I thought I’d never get over. I’ve had an addiction that I thought would always be there. I never thought that anyone would consider me worth anything.

I don’t know who you are deep down, I wish I did. I wish that we could talk openly about our struggles, our fears, the pressures that society puts on us. But we all have to act like we have it figured out. I’m sick and tired of that, I don’t know jack. All I do know is that I have found a better way to live life. I found it when I was at my lowest, when my life felt like it was crumbling around me. I turned to God and amazing things happened.

Maybe you think that I’m a somewhat crazy/unstable person who has been “brainwashed” by religion. Maybe you think I’m foolish. I’m sorry if you do. All I know is that I’ve found something real. I’ve found people who accept me exactly for who I am, not because I have some education or because I look a certain way. I’ve found a group of people who want to help each other deal with their biggest issues so they come out stronger. I’ve found people who have found Jesus, who have let love in.

“For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by God and for God.”Colossians 1:16
