the other side

-by Christy Fitzwater 

Sometimes I invest so much time imaging what horrible things would happen if I were to share my faith with someone that I forget what good outcome may come about.   

I only see my side –the side where there’s fear of speaking about Christ. 

The poem below was written by a teenage girl at my church who chose to follow Christ this year.  Just a reminder of how the other side is feeling. 

Saved!

A new found joy

A shining new peace

A new found comfort

A shining new love 

I asked.

I prayed.

I found.

I relaxed.

A joy never experienced

A peace never accepted

A comfort never existed

A love never known

I was honest.

I was changed.

I was relieved.

I was saved.
