I can’t get the people off my mind who have been so devastated by a Christian community of some kind that they can’t untangle it all from Christ himself. I wish so much I could minister to you bruised reeds. You are dearly loved by Jesus. He is so different from us. And there
really are godly people out there. Authentic Jesus followers. And good (not perfect but good) communities of faith. The enemy of our souls would have you think everybody’s a fraud & every church should be emptied. It’s just not true.
Anyway, I don’t have big solutions to offer. Just know that I’m praying for you and care so much and that there is a Savior you can trust. And, as you find your way back to him, there is a community somewhere for you. I’m so sorry you’ve been hurt. I’m so sorry some of you can’t
even bring yourselves to open your Bibles because of your awful experience. Jesus, above all else, & the study of the Scriptures & a local church have been such life and joy and help to me that I long for that rediscovery for you who miss it. I don’t know how I would’ve made it.
Anyway, I likely didn’t say a lot of this right but you are heavily on my heart and in my prayers. This is your Christ: “He will not break a bruised reed & he will not put out a smoldering wick.” Matt.12:20 He loves you.
And anyway, I said too many anyways.
