Hurting Hearts Need Helping Hands

I go to a wonderful college called Trinity College. I love the professors there and I love the courses. I stand amazed by the talent, maturity, and humility of the professors at that school. But one thing I've noticed not only about this school, but about a great deal of Christians today, is that we are no longer a body, but a social club.

It becomes increasingly more and more obvious to me that the Church today is becoming just another place where we come and exclude those that don't belong to our little cliques. I know a sister in the Lord who just feels so alone that it just consumes her...she has numerous hurts that her heart endures...And she shoulders it without the help of brothers and sisters in Christ. WHERE ARE THEY?!?!?!? How many people are in our pews, in our college seats, in our Bible study classes with hearts so torn and bleeding from their wounds that they go home and just fall apart? I suggest that the reason we don't know the answer is because we don't really care, and I'm not wanting to point a finger without first pointing it right at myself.

I got to know this sister in Christ and found she was a very cool person, but plagued by her problems and hurts....she sat for years in my college, without ANYONE speaking to her very often. All I can say is this: SHAME ON ME! And, if we're all being honest with ourselves, all we will be able to say is the same thing. God bless.
