Just a human believing in a loving GOD!

The other day I was talking to a friend and he said something that I never really thought about, he said, "you Christians don’t know what you are getting into when you decide to believe in Christ." The world judges you regardless but they judge harder when you say, “I believe in Christ”, they assume that you automatically become god-like and you no longer get angry, upset, or hurt.

They expect us to act a certain way and we are suppose act different than the world, we are not to listen to the same music, speak the same way and do the things that they do. But we are still humans and are subject to fall and make mistakes, but it’s when we make these mistakes that the world attacks us and blames us and asks, “Aren’t you suppose to be a Christian?”



We are called to forgive others because our sins have been forgiven, our GOD is love, For He so loved the world that He gave His only son to die on the cross for our iniquities, for our mistakes, but He didn’t just die to redeem us from our sins, he die so that we would live a long life here on earth, a healthy life, free from illness, free from financial troubles, a life worthy of a daughter and a son of great King, for He is the King of kings and LORD of lords and there’s no other God like Him.

When we say we are Christians we are declaring to the world that I was once lost but now I have been found. I was broken and I have been made whole. I thought I had no reason to live and but now I have every reason to live a long life. I thought I had no other way out, no hope but now I have eternal hope in a faithful, loving and merciful God. We are not saying I am better than world, we are saying we were broken, sinners, sick, lonely, lost just like you, but we found someone who loved us so much, someone that was willing to pay the price so that I would have eternal life.

And I declare to the world I am a CHRISTian, I believe in God Almighty, King of kings, LORD of lords, the God that redeems, saves, heals, repairs, creates and loves. I am Christian, a human that is subject to fall but I declare that HE is my strength and greater is HE that is in me that he that is in the world.

To Ever Live Without Me!

I came across this song the other day and I just think its beautiful and it speaks of what He had to do to give us eternal life. Here are the lyrics:

The choices, even though you knew the lines
You'd have to cross for me
You made them anyway
Voices, as you knelt there in the garden
'Neath the olive tree
You heard me call your name
I cannot pretend to understand it all
But heaven knew the reason you were there

It was all about a man
It was all about a cross
It was all about the blood that was shed
so I would not be lost
It was all about the love
That was bigger than a life
It was all about a freedom that was given
through your sacrifice
'Cause you would rather die
than to ever live without me

Helpless, that's humanity without your saving grace
So misled
Selfless, you could have called ten thousand angels
Down to take your place
But you took mine instead
I cannot pretend to understand it all
But heaven knew the reason you were there

A greater love has no one than this
That he will lay his life down for his friends

Dead to Self

I want to abandon myself for God, I want to come to a place where I no longer know who I am. The only thing that would matter is pleasing my father! the one who created me, the one who has set me free and broke the chains! I no longer live but Christ now lives in me! I want to be sold out for the Kingdom! I want to become DEAD! completely dead to self! I lay down my dreams, my hopes and desires! I want GOD to input HIS dreams and visions into my heart! I want to draw so close to His heart so that I may hurt for what He hurts for, so my spirit may be so sensitive to Him. That I may be able to hear the softest whisper, to feel His most gentle embrace! I want to get lost! I want to drown in His love! I want my hunger to rise daily! I will no longer be content at the level I'm at, I want more of His true divine love! It's time to rise! to rise and mark a difference, by prayer, fasting, and weeping! By becoming ONE with the father! my ultimate desire is to walk in the will of my father! To know that I am pleasing Him and making Him smile! For He is worthy! He is amazing! His love is unfailing! My Beloved the one who rescued me!
