Dear Ex- Pentecostal Girl

Dear Ex- Pentecostal Girl,

I saw your pictures today and hardly recognized you. The images I saw left me feeling lost wondering where that teenager that use to weep in the alters went. I knew you had walked away but I had always hoped you would find your way back some day.

Life in the fast lane may be fun for a season but where does it leave you when the people that used you, took advantage of you and robbed you of your innocence are done with you? When you find yourself alone, disgusted with your actions I pray you remember that there are people but more importantly a loving merciful God that is just waiting to welcome you back home. Don’t stay away for too long, we are not promised tomorrow. Sin will take you farther than you ever wanted to go.  As I type this letter to you there is an aching in my chest and I can barely see the screen on my computer for the tears. Please come home.

You may feel embarrassed or maybe even a little too proud to face all the people that you feel “trashed talked you” but its time to get beyond that. We’re not promised tomorrow, and your soul is not where it needs to be. There is no boy that will love you more than God and no drug or alcohol will make you feel better then a powerful Sunday night service . You know the feelings of loneliness and distress you feel when you lay your head down on the pillow at night, please don’t try to flaunt your new lifestyle to those who are younger and once looked up to you. Is the life you’re living now what you would want to pass on to your babies?

Please find your way back to where you need to be. God’s waiting. Time is short.

A broken hearted Youth Leaders wife,
