Thoughts.

It scares me... the things that go on in people's head truly freaks me out, like it freezes up in my bones. I recently became acquainted with someone who is depressed and hurts herself in all sorts of ways just to get through the day. She doesn't understand why, and keeps doing it, feeling drawn in to physically and mentally abuse herself. It simply brings tears to my eyes to know that people want to end their lives. Most of all it scares me because many of those people do not know about God, or of his life, his forgiveness, his grace, and his happiness. We are given one chance, one life and to live with one purpose; we have to let it be known to everyone of Gods great glory. When I spoke to this girl and asked her to pray, she simply said "I wish I knew why I feel depressed." I know I have been raised in my faith, and it's a lot easier for me to understand. But some people are truly lost whether you see it or not, and we should try to help them out. The point of me sharing this story is in hope that maybe if you see someone sitting alone, in public, or at work, someone silent, maybe you have never acknowledged, or even thought of speaking to... just strike up a conversation and who knows you just might help someone out whether you know it or not. I don't think people mean to be antisocial, but just like the boy who murdered all those children in that elementary school in Ct, he was known to be extremely out of the loop, he had no friends, no one to talk to, he could have had the chance to be saved and feel welcomed or accepted. I'm not here to pick a bone with anyone, I just want to express my thoughts and say, a smile can go a long way, but a few nice words can stretch even further. Have a nice day everyone!
