Why?

Why do I hate being around people for so long

And better yet why do I hate when people want to be around me?

Why do I strive to run to darkness instead of the people who want to bring me light

Life’s like that

We twist and turn from the things we should want and instead run towards what kills us inside

From lust to hate, sorrow and discomfort, we run to things that can only fulfill itself

We run to things like these because there’s a hole

A hole in our heart that we try to find the filling for yet never succeed

But why do we run to the things that have never changed

Is it because it’s appealing on the outside or is there something deeper

Something reeping inside of us that makes us want it

Something that tells us the lie that we will be fulfilled with it but then realize too late we were fooled

Why?

Why do we allow the same lies to overtake us

The same lies to deceive us and blind us from the truth

Nothing will fulfill that hole

You can search and search and search but it’ll never be healed

But I tell you this

There is one man who can heal you

The very man who is hated by the whole world

He overcame all of these problems and through Him you can too

The lies were told may be planted in us, but just as weeds are taken out by the root, so can this too.
