Cry Out in Love

The hearts of the people
cry out to the Lord.
O wall of the Daughter of Zion,
let your tears flow like a river
day and night;
give yourself no relief,
your eyes no rest.

Arise, cry out in the night,
as the watches of the night begin;
pour out your heart like water
in the presence of the Lord.
Lift up your hands to him
for the lives of your children,
who faint from hunger
at the head of every street.

-Lamentations 2: 18-19

Distraught and emotionally drained from my last post, I am still trying to process it all. My heart is broken and I have been calling out to God for guidance.

If I am to change, what will that changed person look like? Where should I start? The change must come within. It must effect every aspect of my life and it must be done in a way that is not harmful to anyone. There will be no gnashing of teeth or hitting others over the head with my own realizations. This is about me and my change, not a movement or a call for revolution.

Paul and I try to live by one simple rule, search for a loving alternative. In every situation, with every conversation, we try to ask ourselves, what is the loving thing to do? I challenge you to do the same in your own life.
