Shootings, suicide, cutting, pain, anger, death, depression, and more pain. All of this and more is going on right now. Someone today will end their life, many people in fact. Will it be someone you know? Maybe, maybe not. What if? People are hurting, and none of us want to dig into another person’s life enough to find out about the hurt that is there. This is what Jesus was about, going to the source and taking the pain, he took it all. WIthout his sacrifice, pain would ravage our world with no hope, no end, no exit. He is the end of pain and suffering, he paid it all, and that is what it means. The grip of death, sin, and pain have been shattered. The hurting don’t know this, they feel alone. Undepress someone today, give someone hope. Be a hero.
If you haven’t, you should download a song called Hero from Superchick, it is on iTunes, and 100 other places. It is what we were made for, to be the heroes in this broken world. Jesus was the hero and we are all already called to be a hero to those around us. If someday you’ve hit the bottom, and feel like you want to end it, wouldn’t you want someone to rescue you? Everyone never thinks it would never happen to them, yet it does.
You a hero, whether or not you know it. You have already helped someone most likely and you didn’t know it. People are good at hiding pain, some you would never know that they were hurting until dig a bit deeper. Stop to listen, be a friend, be the one people know they can turn to. Being there is more a hope to the hurting than anything else. You are the one.
We were not meant to live this life unnoticed, and neither were the hurting, this is why we are called the light. There, at the end of the day, all of us will stand together at the top of the hill, flag flying, heads held high, ready for the coming of the one who gives us hope, having done all we could to bring hope and life to this desolate place. Be a hero.
