Covenant Is Still A Part Of This Broken World
I know that many of you looking at colleges are looking for a place that is safe, a place to protect you from the typical struggles of the world. Although Covenant does do a great job at protecting it’s students against such temptations, one cannot depend on Covenant to be their own personal safe haven. Covenant is made up of individuals with all sorts of pasts. Some of them hard, and some of the individuals are still suffering from those pasts. Covenant does not erase the past, nor does it keep you from the present or future. What Covenant does offer, is direction. Direction in how to find healing from the past and direction in how to handle the pains that life often entails. Covenant is part of this broken world, and in it are broken people just like there is anywhere else.
I would encourage any of you going off to college, to go with open hearts. Look for those who are in need of healing, and help them find it. If you are one who is in need of healing go to college looking for people to help you heal. Don’t be surprised or ashamed by sin in life. We know it’s here, the bible tells us it is…focus on how to not let that sin define, but how to let Christ define.
I can’t promise you that Covenant will make sure you will be safe from the sin in this world, I can promise thought that Covenant does have people who are here to fight for you to win the war of sin, however that might look in your life.
