Christian Living

One of the main reasons I was drawn to the life of Christ was the life of Christians.  They seemed to have a secret key to happiness, they didn't mind you picking on them and no matter what they were willing to offer a hand. Why was that??   Now I call myself a Christian- I believe myself to be Christ-like. But am I doing something wrong?  I still cry and it still hurts, why is that?  Being a Christian means to go to your lord with EVERYTHING. If it is too small to pray about it is too small to worry about, if you are ashamed of the question you already know the answer. Being a Christian is like having a secret but it's better than a secret, because you can share it and you should. Don't hold on to this blessing so close and so tight that it cannot breathe, share it among all the world.  We may forget our daily devotions and we might struggle a little longer than we need to but we are Christians and because of that Jesus is always waiting for us and is always willing to accept us back--into our not so secret society.

This is just a short little blerp but, I pray this finds you and it makes you think about your relationship with our savior and how we as Christian are living our lives. I know it isn't poetry but i felt an urge to share this with you.  God Bless

Ephesians 5:1 "You are God's children whom he loves, so try to be like him"

2 Corinthians 5:7 "We live by what we believe, not by what we can see."

A lot of people have a misconception that when they beleive in God or have faith in him that somehow life becomes a bed of roses.
That is just not so. Trials still happen, hard times still come! What makes it all bearable is that He is there for us. Prayer really does work, He really does help, and He really does LOVE us more than anyone else ever could!  I'm glad you are sharing the love of Christ with others!

When you can't make up your mind
Which way is right for you,
Stop and softly ask yourself,
What Would Jesus Do?

Thank you for sharing your walk with Jesus.
It really is a process, our spiritual growth, and watching our faith grow, day by day. This is a beautiful reading.

Your heartfelt writing reminds me of once hearing, "Remember YOU may be the only gospel some people ever hear or see."  That's always stuck with me as a great reminder.
