Consume me, Lord. Make Yourself my One Passion.

Britney, I'm sorry for the lies we told
We took you into our arms, then left you cold
Britney, I'm sorry for this cruel, cruel world
We sell the beauty but destroy the girl

Britney, I'm sorry for your broken heart
We stood aside and watched you fall apart
I'm sorry we told you fame would fill you up
And money moves the man, so drink the cup

(chorus)
I know loves goes around the world, we know
And you never see it coming back
But I can see it coming back for you
It's coming back for you

Britney, I'm sorry for the stones we throw
We tear you down just so we can watch the show
Britney, I'm sorry for the words we say
We point the finger as you fall from grace

(chorus)

Britney, I do believe that love has come
Here for the broken, here for the ones like us

I saw an article in the paper about Britney Spear's return to touring, I think it was. I didn't read it, but, all the same it makes me sad. Sad that even though she seems to have gotten her life back together, she's going back to what tore it apart before. Sad that she wants to do that with her life.

But, I can't condemn her. I can say that what she is doing with her life is wrong, and I wish it would turn around. But, I can't condemn her. Why? See, I'm the same way.

No, I don't do all the things she does. I don't party the night out, sing songs for huge crowds that glorify sin and immorality, I don't have legal battles with my ex. But, you know what? I'm a sinner too. My sin is just as bad in God's eyes as her's. When I lie, cheat, talk back, disrespect people, or am unkind, I sin. Everybody sins. Why are my "little" sins any better than any other sin? It's sin. Period.

The only difference between me, the pastor's daughter, and Britney, is that I am saved. Without Jesus, I have the potential to be just like her, or worse. No, I can't condemn her.

All I can do is love her. All I can do is thank God that He saved me when He did. All I can do is pray that someday she'll realize His love is her's...and it will never leave. Ever.

So, Britney, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all the Christians that condemn you. I'm sorry for all the people who wouldn't be seen with you, dead or alive. I'm sorry. All I can say is that God's love is all the love you'll ever need. Not the roar of the crowds, the boys, any of it. You're a person too. I'm praying for you. Maybe someday I'll get to share God's love with you. Until then, I'll be praying that someone does...and that you'll accept Him.
