The world - and those who are of it - does not love Him, or you.
It will despise and reject you.
It will despise your heart, yes even your very soul,
And it will despise the One who created it.
The world will seek to beat out of you the very things that make you, you.
It will not get better, but you will get better.
You will learn love, though the world may not.
The world will not be able to teach it's children how to love others,
But you will.
The world will ignore the plight of the downtrodden,
It will exist for the here and now,
And it will look ideal.
But if you, precious friend, can survive,
You will appreciate these experiences.
You will stand for His heart.
You will see Him through the flaws,
through the dirt,
through the shame.
And you will know how to love the least of these,
Those who are what you once were.
And you will never be the world.
You will never be of the world.
