Unknown title

I Just DON'T get it! I will be honest here! I don't get people!! I want to though! And again I am talking about Christians! Then again after Saturday I am not sure that is a good word! Listening to Luke shoot I tried to remember and I can't say that I do ever remember going to someone and referred to myself as a Christian! (I mean since I have been actually saved) Cause For SO long a Christian to me was just someone who went to church. Ummm I even remember calling myself a Christian BEFORE I was even saved in high school once! How funny only because I went to church a couple of times! To me Christians were not any different than anyone else.. Well they didn't look or act it anyway! I just knew I wanted to be good:) I have been pondering all week who am I? What do I want people to see? I know I am selfish, prideful(didn't realize how much) but I ALSO know I am the daughter of God! I know in MY heart that I LOVE GOD with all my heart and with all my soul! Big statement I know! But that's how I feel! All I think about is him! All I want to do is learn something new about him! I want him to use me for whatever he feels fit! hmmmmmm not sure I really have a point to all this! Just sometimes I wish people would not get caught up in the title or strive for a position even! Its about your heart and just going out and serving people! Because that's all God wants us to do! SHOW the love to others as he has so wonderfully showed us! Guess what ITS FREE!!!! ITS ALREADY OURS!!! So what gives us any right what so ever to think WE can put a price on it! We shouldn't choose who gets it and who don't. (but we do don't we) PEOPLE we need to WAKE UP! ITS NOT ABOUT US! The sooner WE realize that the better off we will be!! Shoot its not easy getting to that place because the world is selfish...Its all about what can I do for myself to get ahead! How can I make it better for ME ME ME ME ME!! I guess it comes down to getting the focus off ME and put it ON GOD! Then when that focus is on him... You tend to SMILE :) a lot more!

    Hey girl,
    I appreciated your blog. One thing I would like to encourage you in is that we are Christians, unfortunately all who don't believe and all who don't hear His Words and do them, aren't! We must re-invision the world with what that looks like. Only through our livestyle can we do that. It's not bad to be a Christian, its just bad to talk about it and not live like it. I understand and agree with what Luke was saying, but that doesn't change me, it challenges me to step and and "BE". We must be willing to confront those who have made it a bad word. We must confront them vocally and forcefully whenever and wherever the opportunity arises, thats what Jesus did. But He didn't do in with hatefulness, he did it in humility and wisdom. Asking them questions to reveal there heart. Christ frustrated those who were religious, He wasn't here to be popular, He came bringing a sword, the sword of truth, that cut thru the lies and injustice towards His Fathers namesake. We must be willing to do the same, but we must first know the Word, rightly dividing it, using it wisely. Then and only then will we re-define the Word as we know it!

    I understand where your coming from! and I agree with you! I am just trying to see it from a non christian perspective which I was for a long time:) I want to understand it and be christ like! I have a lot riding on it. There are A LOT of people I know (family & friends) that as of right now they are going to hell! I cry for them and ache for them! I want so badly to reach them! My goal...lol my goal is to be the person that walks into a room and they want what I have! that they beg GOD to come into their hearts! I want that now! and I am running out of time! I want to encourage and empower others and for them to DESIRE to do that as well! I guess what I wanted to say in my blog that I am not sure if I did explain well..lol Just that its about us living life for God! I don't care if I am the actual one leading them to the LORD as long as they are being lead!

    i was looking at your Blog and ite pretty well focused ! but i think might be its my ignorance what you mean when you said " You were being SAVED " ? saved from what ? i personally beleive even this Word " Saved " is never been used or mentioned in bible by the reference of Jesus ? and what about "Daughter of God" ? :) well this statment is logically False a correct statment would be You are Creation of Almighty God , because you will never see creator in his creation, and that is how also you know about your creator also, look at Pen , you know some bdy created it but you cannot see that creator in Pen or in other words in his creation, for sure pen did not got created it self, same is the way some thing cannot be created from nothing ( :) denail of theory of evolution ) look at Trees around you ? did you saw the creator of these trees in his creation ? No you dont but you know some bdy created them, look at Vast huge Skies up there , did you saw the creator of these skies in his creation ? No for sure but you know some bdy created them , look at your self , do you see your creator in your self ? no you dont but you know there is an ultimate creator who creted all these things , who created us , that creator has no sons , daughters , uncles and aunts :) Think !! :) and we'll talk about it ,, come up with Questions and reasons to justify and prove first ,Prove and than beleive and than have a strong faith :) ..

    Till then
    Bye ..

    Hi thanks for the comment. I can honestly say I don't completely get what your asking. However I will try to explain some. What I mean by "saved" his God saved me from depression and a lot of other things going on in my life. He continues to save me from myself..lol The creator has Jesus...he was HIS son so I guess I am not getting what or where your coming from:( Sorry! I believe what hebrews 11:1 says What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see. (New Living Translation) I believe, I have strong faith and I live it! I figure God has done so many wonderful things for me, he loves me for me:) I just want that revelation of his love and go out and express it. That is what I feel he is getting me ready for. God Don't need me to defend him! HE IS GOD=)I hope this helps!

    Anonymous, your concept of faith seems to have nothing to do with faith at all. You said "come up with Questions and reasons to justify and prove first ,Prove and than beleive and than have a strong faith :)" Where's the faith in that? If we could prove what we believed logically, faith would not be required.
