It has been all over the internet concerning the Christian band member who announced that he no longer believes in God. He was even afraid to make the statement fearing condemnation and a boot to the outside realms of Christianity. How debilitating this dark and troubling secret must have been for him to endure. You know, believing in God takes a child-like faith when no clear answers are available for those tough universal questions. And sometimes, some can’t get past the world’s blockade for accessing God. Being a practicing Christian is a hard life.
The Christian community has impressed me thus far by offering him love, help, and a soft place to land. Kudos to each of you! World out there, did you take notice? His friends have painted us a picture of Christian love when put into action for one another. And Christians did you notice too?
There have been some tough decisions for all of us since January this year with the COVID 19 pandemic. Progressively the dark clouds kept hanging around, mucking the air we breathe. Slowing humanity to a crawl, terror to an overflow, and grief abundantly distributed. But there is hope! We have been given a chance to re-evaluate our way of life, monitor our necessity levels, and help others in need. God took what was meant to harm us, turned it around to stop the world, and gave us an opportunity for new beginnings.
I wish I could bond my heart with his and allow my soul to open the doors to what I have known and seen in this life. For it is a journey of years of ups and downs, knowing God and wondering where He is while being totally lost. And then the years of not caring, going into survival mode for myself and my children. I have smelled the fragrance of Jesus, had His love and light permeate every molecule of my physical body, and I have met the never-ending darkness of Satan. But these were my journeys, and the young Christian singer will have to walk his journey.
Prayer is the foundation of my life. I will pray for this young man and those around him. I will pray for people of the world to take this time and bring hope, healing, and love to themselves, their families, and others. I will pray for you too!
God Bless You!
