Insinuations

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The author of "Insinuations" says that it speaks to how we as Christians sometimes "go through the motions of kindness, while not loving and accepting the way that Jesus did."

There are many people both outside and within the Church that are desperately attempting to make a connection with us as the people that are the Church.

It is good for us to remember that their hearts and lives - like our own - are fragile, and that we should handle them with care.

As you read this compelling writing, written from the standpoint of someone seeking to be both accepted and loved by the Church, consider God's own words to us all:

Little children, let us not love [merely] in theory or in speech but in deed and in truth (in practice and in sincerity).
1 John 3:18

You think it's hard to deal with me.

What you don't understand is it's hard to depend on you.

Knowing I'm accepted, not wanted.

You've never been in this position, and you never will.

I come and I go still feeling alone.

If home is where the heart is, I have yet to find my heart.

When I leave will all be solved?

If it were so, I would not have stuck around this long.

I push myself away from you.

Because if I come too close my soul might be exposed.

And we wouldn't want that.

You might find I'm real and I hurt and I'm not made of stone.

If fact, I cry. Quite often.

But it's not for you to hear, it's for me to know. To do. To experience.

So I suppose... Let's stay this way.

Never finding out what might happen if we accept one another.

Jesus said to love. And then He died.

He didn't say "Love them if they're different and unsure."

It was only insinuated.
