Ive been hurt by churches and people in the church aswell, but i mean, what do you expect? they are people just like you and me. they mess up and make mistakes too, right? i went to a church and i really wanted to get involved there, but no one would ever talk to me. i had them on myspace/facebook and i always had to talk to -them- first. and i thought 'im the one that is coming to your church, shouldnt you be making more of an effort to show me your christian love?' but no one ever did so i left. then god started talking to me about how they are people, ect. he also told me that i needed to stay at my home church. so i listened. but going to the other church really made me realize why the visitors that come, dont stay long. youre right, we need to love and not judge. especially when you havent ever met that person because we dont know what they have been through to get to where they are now. like i said, we need to pray for the people of the churches in every nation.

This post is an illustration to me of a gifted young person who has godly insight and wisdom into the heart of God. God has given her wisdom to see and understand people in a mature and practical way. She has a beautiful way of expressing herself and getting to the issues of the heart. I hope and pray that more young people, like Tara Lynn, will hunger and thirst after the heart of God and make themselves available to serve God in their calling.
