There was a girl who was never really outgoing. She spent most of first grade by herself, untill someone finnaly befriended the shy girl. Sixth grade: this girl has lived a sheltered christian life. She may know what all the curse wors mean, but was in no way perpared for the reality of middle school. She was thrust into the sexual world with no preperation. She was suddenly hearing talk of sex and a million cus words flew about her head. Her one friend that hadn't moved was abandoning her in a world she didn't know. It wasn't her friends fault, she was just making new friends that the girl despised. So when she got a boyfriend she thought, 'It'll get better now. He'll save me from the darkness that is swalowing my heart.' But while there were a couple, he ignored her, broke her heart into a million peices. They broke up and got back together, but the effect was the same. Her friend only seemed to know her after school, and her ex never talked to her again. She fell hard into the darkness. That darkness was sent by the devil, suicide thoughts born of her fear and loneliness. Her parents were wrapped up in her brothers school problems and she was going through puberty. Salvation was no where in sight, She had sank to far in the darkness to see God. Then a light shone through, a person became her friend. That girl, Natalie, showed her the ropes of a world she never knew, and taught her to survive in that world. Natalie was her angel sent by God. Natalie the angel, an unbeliever. Seventh grade: they did something stupid and got suspended. Then they weren't allowed to near each other during school. The girl was alone again. THe suicide thoughts came back to her, she was afraid. Then another light, another angel, by the name of Lindsey. Lindsey gave her a reason to be happy again. Soon everything fell into place, she could hang out with Nataile again, she had her new angel Lindsey, and her best friend moved back from Kansas. Lindsey her most percious angel, an unbeliever. The subjet of the story is this: Whenever I needed the love of God most his children were nowhere to be seen. Yes, I was that little girl, and the only love of God I saw was in sinners who to this day deny His name. The ones I reach out to more than anyone else are the outsiders, the ones in the back with no one to talk to. Because I've been there, and I want to make sure they get the love of God from one of His children, not from a sinner. How many Christians ignored God when he asked them to talk to me when I was alone? I pledge not to be the one who ignores him. I'm just bringing to light ho we need to reach out to everyone, even if we feel uncomfertable reaching out to the freak, or the one who no one else will friend. Step up to the plate, and mabey more suicides like the one I wouldv'e done if not for Lindsey and Natalie could be prevented.

Well, you have to realize that the vast majority of those that claim to be Christians are not. By my experience and God-given reason and discernment, I would guess 2% of Americans are actual Christians.
