This feels like a safe space to me.
I found myself bopping around Facebook and feeling frustrated and angry. It doesn't take more than a few clicks to find a smattering of hate towards the church. I think what bothers me most is when it comes from friends that shared that common belief with me and now hold such anger towards it.
I struggle to hold my tongue and not lash back.
It feels like one of those impossible arguments though. Like two people shouting at each other, but speaking different languages and things are getting lost in translation.
The argument goes something like this:
Them: It's wrong. Can't you see that. Look at this...
Me: It's not wrong. It's right, can't you feel this...
Two different languages and no resolution. No amount of "look at this" would get me to leave the things I feel spiritually.
It makes me cry because it's such a weighty and important matter and it feels impossible to push against the "see this" crowd because you can't make them "feel this."
Heavy Heart.
I know it. I've seen it and I have felt it and I can't deny it.
