You can’t be forced to be christian, it’s a deep choice. Fortunately for me, i was born into a christian family. But for 17 years, i was forced to go to church and didn’t understand a lick of what it meant to be christian. Recently i have become very annoyed by the portrayal people have of christians. We’re not perfect and i wouldn’t expect anyone to be, if you read the bible, you’ll know that we’re supposed to be humble, non-judgemental, pure, godly etc. We’re meant to turn the other cheek. It makes it hard for Christians like me who’re really trying and looking for support but come to the realisation we’re practically alone!
You find Christians who say and do dreadful things. Who condescendingly judge and gossip during their free time. We’re surrounded by these kind of people. Gossips. You may be one of them.
One of the most alarming things i came to realise was the gap between God and us. The people around me call me “innocent” because i don’t drink or partyI’ve never even kissed a guy! I sometimes feel like the only one. Believe me i’m not in the slightest bit tempted but it’s just nice to know that i’m not doing all of this in vain….i always feel wrong. Doesn’t matter what it is, i never quite seem to hit the mark.
Let me show you why human standards don’t matter. “I hate him so much! but i’ll do the right thing and not get violent” “yeah i watch porn, but atleast i’m not doing it! ” “i’m telling you it’s normal, all guys have to watch porn” . The bible tells us God sees hate to be murder and LUST to be adultery. When you think about it, we’re all sinners. Picture a serial killer. He tortures and mutates people. After all that, he feels absolutely no remourse. Then there’s the jovial “cool” guy. He drinks and does everything in life. Doesn’t care about God thoug….but wouldn’t harm a fly. You’d expect that the serial killer would go a more intense hell, yes? No. We’re all just sinners. Simple as that. What sets apart thdiligent christians from……the not so diligent is how they live. “We live by what we believe” . If you believe in God–SHOW IT! You can tell a tree apart from the rest through it’s fruit. What do you as a christian do that seperates you from everyone else. Can people tell from the way you act and what you say? You shouldn’t need to say you’re a christian for people to be able to tell.
Now, “why you shouldn’t care what people think” .Picture this, you’re driving a car. There are people in the backseat yealling and telling you you’re a horrible driver: “dude! you totally should have taken the right turn its so much shorter” “seriously?! is that the fastest you can go?? you’re no fun at all”. With all th pressure, you bend. You do what they say and what happens you crash and get lost! It’s their fault right? Wrong. You think they’re going to own up? When you’re paying the damage done to the other car, THAT’S when you’ll get the silence. But here’s the catch, they didn’t even know where you were going to in the first place.
People will judge and put you down but this is your personal journey with God. Your destination is Heaven. Nobody can tell you how fast you should get there or what route is shorter because there exists onyl one road. In God’s eyes, they’re all just sinners. The judgement you should especially not pay attention to is of those who are ungodly. They don’t even realise that there’s something they’re not doing right. If we’re all just infected with sin, hwo could you seek acceptance from others. How could you want to please people whe Jesus who i perfect sacrificed Himself for you and forgives you EVERY SINGLE TIME!
Bw careful who you try to please. Let that person have a good heart. Not just achievements which they’ll die without anyway. All that will be left behind. We still hear of dead famous people until now, but do you thik they’re basking in that glory right now? Don’t seek something you can’t keep.
Sometimes people just wrong me and it may be evil but you know what bible verse comforts me “God will trouble those who trouble you”. Look around your formidable surroundings. The mountains and all the beauty. God is AMAZING! You may hatch a perfect revenge plan but trust me, what God can do is better. Let it go.
don’t care what people think because they can get to your mind and mody…..but they can’t touch your soul! and that’s all you keep when you die. Make the right choices and find your true happiness. The happiness that remains even when you have nothing left. This probably didn’t help 99.9% percent of the viewers but that 0.1% ……please, turn your life around and let God in 🙂
