Friends

Recently, i have had to begin the process of making new friends. this is never a fun one, and can take forever to complete. i've become reaquainted with myself, as i've been spending a lot more time with me, myself, and i.
now this has taught me a lot about people who seem to have no friends. how can someone be happy without friends?! people think it's not that bad, but it is that bad! it is awful! life really does suck if you have no friends! there is no one to talk to, no one to do things with, no one to even eat lunch with it! that kid who's eating by himself at school, sitting at the end of the table, with no one around him, he doesn't want to be there! chances are, he's holding back tears, cause he has to go through another lunch period by himself; no one sat with him! we tell ourselves, they're probably used to it, it probably doesn't feel bad to them. it's not true! they may even convince themselves that they're used to it, but that's not true either! they're lying to themselves! they aren't happy! humans aren't created to be alone! we were meant to have a perfect relationship with God! and we don't have that on earth, so no one can tell themselves that they're okay without even an imperfect relationship with humans! it's a lie!
speaking as one of the lonely kids, we dont' want to be alone! we want to friends! don't just walk past us and pretend that we aren't there! don't let us eat alone one more time! it hurts, every second by ourselves hurts! and don't say "oh, i'll sit with her tomorrow". you can't gurantee that you'll even make it home tonight! that lonely kid may not be there tomorrow! maybe they'll get hit by a bus that afternoon! sure it was an accident, but you missed a chance to be Jesus to someone! It must break God's heart to see kids lonely and by themselves, cause i know it breaks mine! take the hit to your popularity or whatever, and step out and be Jesus! it says in the bible "don't build up treasures for yourself on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and thieves break and steal". i'm not sure where that's from, but it's still the living word. now, we all know that we're going to all die and then go to heaven, so there's no reason for getting rich on earth or anything, and that's true enough, but Jesus says moths and rust destroy treasure on earth and theives steal it! that's more than just dying and it being gone. that's that even while you're alive and on earth, your treasure can still be taken from you! there's no reason to work at getting treasure on earth! it will disappear! it will not, and can not stay! start getting your values in order and cherish the things that matter! Cherish the lonely souls at your school! Jesus cherishes those souls! Cherish those souls! Care for them! befriend them! it just tears me apart to see such loneliness!
