The Invisible People

Written By: Miranda Caverley
Did you know that there are invisible people in this world?
If not there are, and they attend your church.  These people come every Sunday and attend, but they are not noticed.  You walk right past them and never notice that they are there.  They feel like that have done something wrong to be treated this way by the church.  So they try to examine themselves and change to see if that is why no one wants to talk to them or even "hang" with them.  So these people try to reach out and talk with those in the church, call, write them on online and even ask them to come over and have a get together.  But that doesn't work either.  The phone calls go unanswered and not returned, the online messages are never responded to and the get together's never happen.  But still they keep going to church because they hope and pray that maybe just maybe someone will come along that will see them and want to be their friend.  The invisible people still attend the church hoping and praying for that fellowship that God says that we need, to stay strong in our faith. But after months and months of being the invisible people their faith starts to waver and fail.  If you could see them you would see they were tattered and torn, tears streaming down their faces still askiing "what is it I've done, why does no one want to be my friend and even talk to me?"

At this point in the invisible peoples lives depression sets starts to set in. Their faith is just barely hanging on that the church even cares about them.  Their not asking for much, they don't want money, pity or anything like that. What the invisible people want is just to have someone say "hi how are you today"  They want someone to just pray with them.  They cry out for Christian Fellowship with the church.  They Cry Out For The Love Of Christ from the church!

Who are these invisible people you may be asking? They are adults, teenagers, elderly, and children. No age is discriminated against to be an invisible person in the church. They are mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, grandma's, grandpa's, aunts, uncles, cousins.  From all walks of lives and all different situations.  They are poor, rich and the outcast, geeks, freaks, popular. 


My question to you is....DO YOU SEE THEM NOW?  Will you taken the blinders off and see the invisible people?  If you have instead of seeing a room half full you will see a room over flowing of people in the church people searching for truth, looking for a friend, craving the fellowship of the church and the love of Christ that is suppose to be flowing freely inside of us. 

Maybe you are one of the invisible people.  And I want you to know that I SEE YOU and I want to be you friend.  You don't have to alone any longer and feel invisible.
