Weeping on Sunday
Yesterday I was reading some blogs that I follow and one especially moved me. I found Elizabeth Esther through Twitter and have found her blog to be very honest and moving. Yesterday’s post made me very sad, because I know she is not alone in the pain that she experienced. I know many, many Christians who come out of church feeling not stronger, more connected with God and others, but hurt, angry, broken, and in despair. I have felt that way myself before. I have good friends who are going through it now.
Why? I may not always know God’s will exactly – but I DO know that it is never His will for us to be hurting each other with our pride, our prejudices, and our arrogance.
Food for thought on this Monday morning.
And, honestly, some of these hurt people may leave Christianity altogether and reject organized religion. Especially if this hurt occurs when they are young.
