Yeah, I'm sure it's godly to exile people for making a few mistakes. Sometimes when your head spins and your heart is breaking, you can't even tell what's going on around you. The world is dark and your body is numb and the edges are blurring. It's a stream of consciousness type of thing. F. Scott Fitzgerald couldn't have described it better. I'd like to picture God as this symbol of love, looking out for me. If I didn't have Him, I could have gotten hurt. He's not a club that you join that makes you better than anyone else. He's love, plain and simple. And yeah, I don't mirror His love very well, but you've got to ask yourself.. do you? I didn't even try to hurt you, and you're kicking dirt in my face. You're always kicking dirt in my face, and I love you, but you hurt me so much. I've done my fair share of hurting too, and for that, I am truly sorry. I'm sorry if I tend to think that I'm always right because I'm not. I just love you. You've been there, you're amazing, I love you. I'm sorry if you don't feel the same way about me. I'm sorry if I'm not good enough to be your friend anymore.
And baby, I love you too, and I'm sorry for hurting you. I don't need you in my life, but I'd really like to have you there. I know that I do silly things, I know that they take a toll on you, but I love you. I want you to be happy, even if it's not with me. I want you to be so happy that it makes you cry. And me, just don't worry. It's not important.

Don't just picture God as seperate from your problems trying to help you and protect you from getting hurt. Picture God right in the middle of your problems. What is He thinking when you're in them? What is He thinking when you scream out to Him in love but you don't claim the claws off of you? What is He thinking when you "run after Him" with the claws still attached?
He has given you power and authority Amanda. He lives inside of you because you accepted Him. But you have to claim those claws off of you. You do have choice. You do. You look at the two paths you can take right now and you choose. He loves you, but He doesn't love sin. He can't handle it. So He has given us authority and power to shake that off. Are you going to man up and take authority of your life? Are you going to live free? Or are you going to live with a claw around your neck forever?
I love you and I for one will not stop talking to you and texting you. But you now know what I personally think. There is beautiful freedom waiting for you. All those things you want to be? You already are. It's not far off in the distance. Just let Christ change you.
P.S. I'm glad you said there is either one extreme or the other at campus. Good. You can't be lukewarm then. Now choose.
