Dear Kanye West

Published by Laurene

Thank you for coming to my blog! This is a a place that is not only special to me, but has become one of the safest places for me to write and share so much of my heart and soul. Something I've learned throughout the years is that each of us is running a race that has been purposefully, and uniquely marked out for us. I've known this to be true for a long time, but to be honest, I've found myself on the sideline. Wounded. Afraid. And alone. I know that so many people find this experience to be extremely familiar in their own lives and that's why this space is so special to me. I know that we're all hiding behind something. More and more I'm finding that the places where we hide are online and within some sort of social media. My hope is that this place where you intended to hide turns into a place where nothing but light finds you. Where loneliness turns into community, and slowly but surely all of us found on the sidelines will find the strength again to keep running. Together. Feel free to stay awhile. There is nothing too heavy here. I am for you and who could ever stop you with the God of the Universe right beside you :) "But from there you will seek the Lord your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul."Deuteronomy 4:29 ESV View all posts by Laurene

Wow, welcome to the family.

I know that you’ve probably been overwhelmed by the amount of people that claim to believe in Jesus, yet judge so deeply and even discount the way you testify how God has changed your life.

I am so sorry and I can’t imagine how disappointing that is.

BUT

There are so many of us (including myself) that are in your corner, cheering so loud over what God has done in your heart.

“In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
Luke 15:10

The God of the Universe who has been seeking after you before you were even born, fighting for you, waiting for you, is REJOICING like the Good Dad He is over His son coming home. So much so that even the angels are rejoicing over your new life in Christ.

Man, that is so special and this is such a special time for you.

1 John 4:1 protects us by giving an instruction to not believe every spirit but to test the spirits to see whether they are from God.

Based on your new album, the true Gospel driven lyrics, your interviews testifying to the truth of Jesus Christ and the way your presence truly glimmers something different, I have no reason to judge you further because of your past, or the way you used to be.

I used to be a different person too. My life wasn’t anything close to what God wanted for me but that’s the beautiful thing about Jesus.

Belief in Him changes everything, regardless of what people say.

“What fruit did you reap at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The outcome of those things is death. But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the outcome is eternal life…”
Romans 6:21-22

You have been set free and the fruit you are producing in your life shows that freedom.

Thank you for being different in celebrity culture.

Thank you for staying steadfast in the Fathers love.

We needed this.

And on behalf of the Christians who believe in the One true God who sent His one and only Son to die a death that only we deserved… to then overcome the grave so that we may be free, having life in abundance and the assurance of things yet to come. We are standing by you.

We are laying hands on you.

We are praying for you.
