Old hurts alll add up
And you avoid new pain
And, because you don't feel loved
You forget blessings gained
And the ears become dull
When, God, we discard
And His loving gospel
The tongue starts to judge
Doctrines and others
Your feet will not budge
And everything bothers
Then, the eyes wander
And accept something new
Safer paths to ponder
Goodbye the old you!
Still, like a divorce
A bitter taste remains
And without remorse
Mormonism gets the blame
I know you can't wrap up into a tidy bow all the reasons people leave the church, but these particular thoughts came to mind.
On a brighter note- because Jesus is the Master healer and this poem cannot be over!
Time passes...a thought
Triggers a memory
A lesson you were taught
Redirects your life story
You decide to return
And many welcome you
The Spirit again does burn
And you're restored anew!
We had a return missionary speak about his mission. I love conversion stories! I love seeing the gospel in action with lives being changed!
The elder spoke of someone who wondrously gave up 5 vices IN A DAY to start his journey with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We all have vices that hold on to us, so it is very encouraging to hear of the gospel completely changing someone! 🙌 ❤️
