Tears of the Lake

Here is something I wrote while down by the lake, it's kind of like a journal entry.

As I sit on this rock by the lake, my heart grieves for the souls Satan has claimed for himself. Not for long. Leave now, Satan, you are not wanted!

I was in my room getting ready to start a paper when in my spirit, I felt prompted to come down here. So I did. I was sitting somehwere else. I had started praying but I couldn't get into it. I looked to my left and saw Ryan playing guitar. So I got up and came over here. As soon as I sat down, I felt the dam break and the tears started flowing. I began praying and crying out to God. My phone is off so I have no idea how long I've been down here. I do not think it's a coincidence that both me and Ryan ended up down here at the same time.

There are so many hurting souls, so many broken hearts. There are so many people searching for answers, wanting to live for so much more. It breaks my heart to know that so many of them don't know what Jesus did for them. Sure, they've heard the stories, but that's all they are to them, only stories and nothing more. It's time they learn the truth. It's time that the veil of lies Satan has placed over their eyes be removed. It's time this campus experiences the full manifestation of the Holy Spirit in all His glory. Let it rain, let it rain , open the floodgates of Heaven!

People need to knoe they don't have to drink their problems away, because they will still be there in the morning, along with regret and shame for whatever may have happened during their stages of drunkenness. They don't have to have sex to feel loved and wanted. They don't have to get high to feel what is only a temporary happiness. Because with Jesus, they can bring all their problems to Him and He can fix them permanently. With Jesus, they will be loved, unconditionally and for eternity. Scratch that, they are loved by Him, they just haven't realized it yet. With Jesus, they can be filled with an inexpressible joy that will last longer than one shoot up or drag or sniff or whatever, it'll last longer than ten combined. He wil lbe by their side, day nad night. Thast's the song Ryan's playing right now, "By Your Side." I love it.

My family needs God so much. My dad is filled with anger at the world and always in physical pain. It pains me emotionally and spiritually. They are constantly judging and doubting me. Their hearts are hardened toward their Creator and it is truly heartbreaking. My siblings. I love them all. They remain loyal to my parents and believe/say/do whatever they do. I've become the rebel of the family. Interesting, huh?

There is no more time to waste. The time is has come to step out and be what we have been called to be. It is time to show this campus what God's love is all about and how He can change their lives forever. I've never felt anything so strongly before. It's a little scary but we were not put on this Earth to live our lives in fear. We were made to stand out and find the courage to preach the Gospel to nonbelievers everywhere. God casts out all fear!

That's the end. The breaks symbolize new paragraphs because Blogger is silly and won't let you indent. I am actually really excited about this fasting thing. I was able to go to Lakeside and get some water and leave. There was so much food I could have eaten, but I stood my ground! :D I think now I am going to go start that paper. Farewell, my beloved blog readers!
