The Innocent

My heart breaks for those who are less fortunate than I. Why is it so called men and women of God hurt others. I do not understand. If they were truly called by God, why did they stray? If they were not called, why lie? How do they succeed in hurting the weak or hurting? Does not the other church members pray and try to help others? If America is a Christian Nation, how is it many of the preachers do not obey God's word?

Many people seem to be so self-centered. I hope that one day, I can help to bring about change with teh good Lord's guidance and help. I hope that others can see the goodness and love of Jesus. People say that it only takes one to bring about change. I disagree. I believe change starts within us all. However, it only takes one person to bring it to the forefront.

This was written by me on May 2, 2002. I had just heard about a youth leader who was abusing girls. I was very up set because only the month before, my mom and I had been lead to change churches. Before that we were going to that church. That man was my youth leader for about 1 week.  The girls were about my age. It is sad that then and now many people are hurt by those who should be helping them. I still would like that to change.
