Gone
Why?
Why did she leave? Why did she forsake every single thing we have ever known while growing up? She knows better.
Her parents are long time members of the church. Her whole family is involved. She herself has been an active member of the church for as long as I can remember. She’s been a Sunday School teacher, a choir member, traveled on mission trips, and went to a Bible College. She was always the one that we just knew was a good, Christian girl. Why would she do this?
I saw her the other day, and she was wearing nail polish! Someone else said that they saw her wearing a pair of pants. I still can’t believe it. She was my best friend. We told each other everything. And now, she has fallen by the wayside. She has chosen the world. She has forsaken Christ.
I still cry when I think about her. I cry for her soul. She has chosen the life of sin and has unequivocally damned herself to hell.
Even though she has left, she does seem happy. I always see pictures of her smiling. She didn’t do that as much before. She finally got her own apartment and started her career. I mean, she seems to be doing good. But, still, her soul is lost.
Why?
