I’m distressed by your petty arguments, your frivolous acts of rage, your aimless desire to scream. Do you not have any meat on your bones? You talk foolishly about others and continue pointing your finger but never live up to your own troubles. You seem to be haunted by a desire for attention, for drama and always needing to be right. I am sad for you, I pity your arrogance, your soul mourns and smells of soot. You’re the walking dead. It is hard to watch as you crumble. Your wrinkles from anger, your illnesses from bitterness, your tired ways from selfish deceit. I’m sorry for you. I’m sorry for your life as it is not the real life worth living. I pray you will take this in love and not measure it to my own struggles for this is not a comparison of evil intent. I am fully aware of my ways and where I am wrong in them and I easily would admit them to your face. This is my concern for your heart and well being. I care for your spirit deeply and know your heart cries out for change. I want to understand because I know that is the only way to love but will you be still and give me the chance? To busy making a point, to busy being enraged. Will you give a moment for breathing, for life, for the hand of love to touch your brokenness? My selfish desire is to see you fall only to see justice rise... But I am wrong in that. When I turn my face toward the Lord He gives me sadness for you. He gives me prayer for you. He helps me embrace your pain and brings compassion to my heart for you. I want to know, I want to understand, I want to see victory and freedom in your eyes. This sad day I hope not to remember... I hope it to be eclipsed by God’s empowering love. I hope the faults and lies to be conquered by the word of the Lord and turn ashes in to beauty in a moments time. Turn your eyes to Him, allow Him to show you peace, joy, hope, faith and love. You can only get it from Him. He is the only way you can be transformed. Give Him the light of day, give Him the opportunity. Stop hiding your face from Him. Stop hardening your heart! Be desperate before Him. He is the only one that can save us from our selves!
