I could write a really classic emo song right about now..lately it seems like people have been slinging really hurtful arrows at each other...nitty-gritty stuff too, not even stuff that's big enough to cause a ripple, and yet people latch onto tiny comments and string their bows and fire away, no thought to the consequences...why are humans so desparate to be right? such a trivial thing to let a conversation go without getting the last word and yet we hold on to the fight, until its stretched past even the point of recognization...
...how does love hold on so strongly through it all?...how does God bear it? I bet if we were to picture our words as arrows God would be matted with scars...how does He stand us?? with our fickle foundations..one minute we are singing praises in church and embracing Him, the next we have bruised someone so badly it takes a week to recover...God I'm crying out to You right now for peace! Father give us peace! Give us shields, instructions, push us Father to accept the challenge of living a life solely dependant on You...give us dreams Jesus to consistently love...I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
