Come To Think About It

An inspirational story for young people with a human desire to attend church.

           Come To Think About It.

     People need religion occasionally, at any age. Exposure with a church has inherent qualities with all the right ingredients. Inside and out; there are lessons of compassion, which can be seen and felt. Merely approaching a church and seeing members of society, and the sense of unity associated with it. Curiosity alone opens up our senses. Going inside there are a plethora of feelings and disciplines, with tradition and strict order of events all too familiar to draw from other people. People turn to religion as place were only they care about what their saying to heaven in a personal way. Mortals have an innate fear, or are in fear of the outside world at large. Religion is sort of a comforting, compassionate, and consoling area of life. Working wonders to relieve the common social anxieties we all get once in a while. A church is an opportunity to unite with others, and our Holy Spirit inside.

     The whole day anticipating the pleasant burst of blessing by the experience going to church alone makes it seem worthwhile. Once inside church though. For most young people like myself, an idle boredom broken up with a wonderment is a welcomed experience. Listening to whispers, and amazed with the art of stained glass windows. A huge cross at the head of the alter. Waiting and wondering when the organ music will start playing. Maybe the thought of Psalms and prayer usher in another round of boredom, but I'll think about it, and try.

     The world outside is here together to forget about the uncivilized human nastiness of the world at large for a while. The feeling of being secure as peoples whispers are falling to a silence. Even silence has its own sound in church. The room is filled with quiet thoughts, which a cough travels through the air for all to hear. Being aware af all the surroundings, a definite energy comes over the crowd, which changes our mood to somber for just an instant. Then its hard to figure out, but out of someplace in an instant; a pleasant rush of good feelings comes over everything at once, but after all, this is church.

     Feelings which are hard to describe, so overwhelming all at once. Everyone feels for their own purpose of showing up. Almost as if a mass sigh of relief has entered our bigger picture.

     Everyone here has their favorite parts of church. The stories from the Bible, beauty of the organ music and Psalms recited in unison. One of the best parts are excitement of being Blessed. It always fills the whole room; it is unavoidable . Remembering my last time, the reason for returning in the first place every time. To experience this brief burst of pouring emotion freely. One of the best feelings in the world. A strong desire for peace and hope effect hits home. Hoping for the best to help figure out all the things to work on with myself. A cleansing, healthy purging, and refreshing feeling inside, and out of mind experience. Then joy, and peace with hope and strength fills the soul. Peace of mind so strong, it brings silent tears to ones face and tears of joy to the heart, amazing grace.

     As if the angels are welcoming you for what's to come. Simply put, out with the bad, and in with the good. No where else feels emotional like it does being at church. A ton of human nastiness being forgiven, and replaced with a Blessing. What a relief having a burden lifted off our shoulders. The purge renders no pain as your heart is being opened up in good faith. Angels have prepared everything inside your heart while you were waiting in wonder. Our Holy Spirit works in mysterious ways friends. Which brought your soul seeking for answers was no coincidence. There is no strict order for emotion, and the chaos leaving you has its wandering affect. All those negative thoughts have been lifted up in a light air balloon. The Holy Spirit has arrived at your rescue. To follow you where ever you go. Nothing is perfect in life except God. Accept God into your life, ask for peace and hope.
