The Trinity

Once there was a young man, that has asked about his three necklaces. People might ask,"Why do you have three crosses?" or "Why do you always wear that?"



He then will on occasion ask if it offends them. But often he will answer the question to test them, his answers are usually : "It's my trouble proof vest," or "It's something to keep me in my place," or "It's unique, and it's not really hurting anybody, right?"



Depending on how the person(s) answer or reacts he can see what the person is feeling. Are they trustworthy? Are they offended? Do they really have God and Christ in their lives?



In truth the answers is: They remind him and everyone who sees them that the Lord, The Son, and Holy Spirit are always with them. So they must always strive to better themselves. It is also supposed to remind him that he must bear the weight of his sins until he repents.



He doesn't believe he will receive extra blessings, extra protection, or he is sin free.



No, he is a sinner, a normal human, even though he wishes he was an angel.



He is not "Holier then Thou" he makes the same mistake as everyone else.



Unfortunately these crosses do come with a cost.

His social life has never been the same since the day he started wearing them.

Many friends have shunned him and much family has been distant.

'Maybe it's is ment to be' he thought to himself, 'I will not bend to the will of Satan!"

So he lives life, praying, keeping a tight grasp to his faith, and will continue to bear the weight of the crosses and his sins, until the end of Time.
