Last Wednesday for a while

Last youth group for a while.  Hmm.  It was very impacting and emotional.  We did a line challenge where you cross the line if you fit into the description of what was said.  Those who don't cross throw markers into the middle to show they care.

It was so incredible and heart-breaking to see these young adults cross the line over and over.  To see the markers being thrown to the middle with soft music and dim lights just taking it all in.  Looking at your fellow friends and seeing the pain in their faces, in the tears that ran down their cheeks, seeing the love that was spread with hugs, a hand that would rub another's back for support, to see these people break down those walls and become one with the love of God.

My heart went out to everyone tonight.  My heart hurt for everyone.  If I had all the markers in the world they would all be laying in the middle of the 2 lines for these people.  They are worth fighting for, they are loved unconditionally with any flaws they feel they have, they are beautiful people, they have a heart for Christ.  It hurts to see them look at themselves and not feel good enough: mind, body, and soul.  It hurts to see that they feel they are not loved, that they don't have what it takes to be worth fighting for.

Pray for these youth and adults.
