So, ok...right when you're about to loose all faith in mankind, right when you're sitting at your desk welling with tears bc of a stupid Coldplay song, right when you think no one really loves you (except your parents) some lady at work comes up to you...knowing you're beyond broke...and gives you $0.55 to get a candybar out of the machine in the dirty old breakroom. It's totally moments even as little as these that allow you the glimpse of God embodied in people.
I know I've been having all these revelation recently...probably most people have already thought these simple thoughts, but they were new & precious to me. I rememeber in high school our pastors would have these Sundays when you're supposed to bring a friend to church with you. I never did it, bc I hated church. No unchurched person would want to be there if someone who actually believe what was coming out of the pastors mouth didn't want to be there. Honestly, I don't disagree with this method, but it wasn't fitting for me. I just think that when you really love your church, love going, love the people, you want others to come with you. And this is the most amazing feeling to me. I want to share the 'experience' with people. Furthermore, I want to share it with people that don't go to church...simply bc it's cool. Whether or not that's right or wrong of me to think that way, I'll actually invite people to come with...instead of being 'forced' to by some heirarchy. And even if you don't believe what Chris says from the makeshift stage, you'll probably love it...simply bc you can't deny the visceral yet ethereal power or realism you feel there.
Tears stream down your face
When you loose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I...
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I....
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.
-Coldplay "Fix You"
