Dear World,
I am a Christian trying to live in you;but it is very difficult. Everyday, everywhere I look, is filled with your dirt, your corrupt ways. The media bombards me with explicit images, disgusting information, LIES!! How am I supposed to cope with that? As a Christian I'm supposed to avoid such evil ways. But how can I when it surrounds me everyday? Why do you do this to me?I am but a youth and for some reason I find myself drawn to your horrifying customs. I find interest in your sinful nature, like a young child drawn to sweets. Whenever I try to turn away you seem to pull me back. There is something about you that draws my flesh to you; that makes me feel as though I need you to define me.
Dear World,
I am always told that when I grow up I am going to face the 'real' you, but I already face you everyday. Every time I switch on the television and watch a movie with drugs, alcohol and sex; every time I switch on the radio and listen to songs about violence; every time I open a magazine and find interest in the gossip about celebrities' lives being torn apart; everywhere I look you are there, you are constantly pulling me away from reading my bible; the time spent listening to the radio is time spent away from praying. Why do you make it so hard for me to do the right thing; to obey God's commands?
Dear World,
How DARE you put me down because I am a Christian? How DARE you tell me that to be for God is boring and for losers! How DARE you reject me, tear me down, make me feel worthless because of my faith! You make my life so difficult and yet I am still able to persevere. I am able to smile and laugh and enjoy myself, because of the joy I have found in my Lord. Every time you try to break me, you just end up making me stronger. You can continue to bring me down, to tell me that because I am not 'cool' or don't fit in, but remember this, the life I spend in you is only temporary and I can find joy in the fact that once I leave you, I will spend ETERNITY with my God, my Everlasting Father. I will walk in a city filled with love and joy and peace and I will finally belong. And even though that may seem like it is a long time from now, it is still worth the wait.
Yours truly,
Aggie.
