reach out beyond yourself

Readers,
   so  today  as i am  here.  my heart goes out to  christians all over young and old.  this blog is  for  christians  who feel  ignored, who feel as if they  don't  matter,  you  know who you are.
  we are  out there all over.  recently  i was  talking  with a youth.  she  simply  told me that  at  tribe  i am the only  one that reaches out to her. what an honor?  you  see  even i am guilty of this looking  past  christians.  yet they are  sometimes the  ones in greatest  need.  
  I am in the  wilderness  season and though it's  not  great and  exciting  God is  showing me not only things  about my life  but  other's   to. so  my question is  why do we  look  past the ones that need us the most?
   here is  my little intake  on this.  many times in my life i have  been longing  for  just a person to take the  time to reach out  and rescue me.  but  most times  i was let down  so i started to  shut people out. i mean  i can open the  surface of me up but don't  ask me to open the depths of me up  cause that is like opening a  lock that  won't  open.i try   i really  do  but  thats  not easy. anyways about a month ago i was at a really low point in my life and i tryed to ask  for help from a  leader and they dismissed me like you  are a christian  why  do  i need to help  you  kind of mentality.  so  for over a month i didn't  go to  crossroads i  ran  away  in my own little  attitude and  world. i know that i am not alone in this.  there are people  in our churches  as we speak that are  needing  hope. i mean  it's  easy to put on a fake  smile and  wear a mask.  you  do that long enough you  begin to  forget who you really are.  so  who are you  today? where do you  fit in this scene? it's easier to bury yourself rather than  reveal yourself.  it's scary to really let anyone in. trust  me  i know.
 honestly  though there are many stories i could tell you of  young  girls or  guys that  have  fallen  because  no one took the  time to  reach out.  now this is  not  always  the  case however.sometimes  people just want the  attention so they  go off the  grid.  and  many of us  wan to  see  nothing but the  good in people  that  we miss the  signs of  struggle.that  we are to  focused in our  little  cliques to  notice.  ( to  really  touch your  heart you  should watch the movie "to  save a life" that  movie  will  touch  you  in a whole  new  way!!!
  anyway  the purpose of me  writing to you  today is  to open your  eyes  where  they me  blind  to  open up  your  heart in new ways.  there is a  falling  society  out there that needs  us.  so what's  it going to be.  you  going to  stand  up  and  reach out or are you the one  who is  breaking inside and  you are  in need  of  someone to  help you.  i urge  you  not to  run away  like i  did.  find  a  leader  find  someone that will  listen to you  before  it is too late.  


 young  person  you  know who you are! God  loves you  flawless.  you are  worth it! you  are  valuable and i am  truly  glad that God  designed  you.  he  purposefully made you.  and  I  am  so glad that you  are here.  may  god continue his  great  work in your  life. may you hold on to hope today. may you find  joy in each situation.  may  God  give you  a  friend  that will  stick  closer then a  brother. 
much  love always ...........
