The Eight Hundred Pound Gorrilla in the Room |
|
Why won't you ask?
Haven't you noticed? I'm sure you must have, it's as obvious as the 800 pound Gorilla sitting over there in the corner, you can't miss him! Yet I've waited now for weeks for someone, for any one of the people who say they love me and they care about me to ask yet no one does. So much for Christian community, so much for fulfilling all of those "one another commands" sprinkled generously about in the New Testament. Are you embarrassed to ask? Are you afraid to ask? Or do you just not care? I hope you just don't care, that would be too much to take. That 800 pound fella is there every week, sitting in the corner of the room, maybe you're getting used to him, but I'm not, each week that passes and no one asks one simple question he just gets bigger and bigger. In my eyes he has just about doubled in size. But you choose to ignore him, while I can't and while I wonder, and while I'm beginning to think that my hurts are not all that important to you. Eight hundred pounds and growing. A few pounds a week, and he will continue to grow until someone asks a simple question. Why won't you ask? |
