Don’t
meet your Hero!
By
Anna Lee
Don’t
meet your hero.
Unless
you want to be disappointed.
Unless
you want to recognize that your hero is human.
And
sinful.
And
flawed.
Don’t
meet your hero.
Unless
you are prepared to see the truth.
Unless
you want to feel hopeless.
And
lost.
And
deceived.
Don’t
meet your human hero.
Who
was never meant to replace
The
one and only true hero.
The
one Savior.
The
one who does not leave us.
Or
forsake us.
The
one that was fully human
And
is fully God.
The
one that is not and never was a sinner
But
who gave his life for our sins.
Don’t
meet your human hero.
Don’t
expect a hero to meet your needs.
Don’t
rely on a physical being to rescue you.
Don’t
seek truth where it cannot be found.
Look
up.
Look
down.
Look
around.
He
is there. Waiting. Patiently.
Ready
for a relationship.
Ready
to meet you where you are.
Ready
to gently guide to where He wants you to be.
You
will not find your hero in your mom or your dad.
You
will not find your hero in a spouse or a lover.
In
a pastor or a mentor.
Or
any man.
Or
any woman.
Don’t
meet your hero.
Meet
your Savior.
Meet
the one who loves unconditionally.
Meet
the one who restores.
Meet
the one who is ready to redeem.
The
one that will not deceive.
Or
leave you.
There
And
only there.
Will
you find what your heart is looking for.
Only
there.
With
your Savior.
