"He came for the lost and lonely
He came for the broken hearted
Ready or not He came
He came for the wounded soldier
He came for the cynical son
Ready or not he came
That they might know Him for who He was...
He came for the brusied and battered
He came for those forgotten
Ready or not He came
He came for the troubled family
He came for the hungry little girl"
- "The Only" by Riley Armstrong
i love this song, i think that it so amazingly well illustrates the truth of God... that he sent his son to die for us, no matter who we are or how much we don't accept it or how much we deny it. we all have that God-shaped hole, why do we try to fill it with things that won't fit?
as a youth ministry major, so often i am struck with the hopelessness of adolescence, that paralyzing fear that comes from the search for who we are and trying to find it through faulty means. doing research for my thesis, i have been reading a lot of blogs, which of course reflect our society. there are those that are condemning, those that are searching, those who are simply looking for someone to listen or someone to love, those who are hopeful, and those who have found the answer. the ones who have found the answer are always my favourite, but i should be focusing on those who are still searching. i think that those of us who are Christians have so much responsibility entrusted to us to witness... i pray that somehow we are making an impact.
