ROOTED RENEGADE

I look around everyday and all I see is brokenness mixed with healing. Pain and heartache mixed with grace and mercy.

In a world so hell bent on selfishness and condemnation, materialism and money, judgement and few times true justice, it’s hard for some to know which way is up or down, left or right. Addicts and alcoholics looking for hope in a world that glorifies the use of both yet abusing them causes worse judgement than some hard core criminals. Those caught in human trafficking looking for a way out condemned because of a lack of understanding. People who suffer from the crippling effects of depression hide their pain because the world has a lack of compassion. The rate of suicide increases among children because of bullying and silence has become the norm because let’s face it not many people can hold a conversation with out being stuck in their cell phones. So children don’t reach out anymore, instead they write letters then take their own life.

Bandaids aren’t big enough for the problems most of us carry around on a daily basis. The baggage has become to heavy and too old. The pain too great to keep masking with drugs and alcohol, or self harm and self loathing. To keep a lid on what ales us and failes us is suicide with out dying. Many don’t know a better way because no one is teaching them, leading by example, showing them the ttue path to freedom and redemption.

Some people never get the opportunity to change because many are too afraid to speak up, to speak to someone, or simply use the voice God gave you to share your testimony. It is time to stop being afraid. You had the test to have the testimony. Why not use it to help someone else? God may just be using it to save someone’s life.
