What she promised to me…

The church she promised to house me… but there wasn’t space beneath the steeple for her people.

The church she promised to forgive me… but there wasn’t grace within her heart to hear my secret story.

The church she promised to confess me… but she didn’t have time to listen when things depress me.

The church she promised to carry my cause… but she couldn’t find money to invest in answering this worlds needs without pause.

The church she promised to hear me… but she didn’t have room within her doctrine for the inconvenient questions I was asking.

Dear church,

Thank you for being me for caring about me until I grew confused when I didn’t recognize myself in your pews.
