I'm a...

'I'm a hypocrite.'
'I'm a jerk.'
'I'm a murderer.'
'I'm an adulteress.'
'I'm a sinner.'
'I'm... not perfect.'
 
No, I'm not perfect.
In fact, no one is perfect, except God.
You see, before you decide you want to be regular visitor of my blog, you should know this:
 
 
I'm a Christian.
and
I love Jesus.
 
Some people would say those are the same thing, but I beg to differ.
Being a Christian doesn't necessarily mean you love Jesus, it just means you've accepted him into your heart.
Which is a big deal, and a good thing!
You should accept Jesus into your heart!
 
But...
 
You see, when you start a job, you usually want to finish it, right?
 
Just accepting Jesus, isn't completely following him.
Once you're with him, you gotta follow him with your whole heart.
You see, we, the Christians, represent Jesus to non-believers.
We need to be like Jesus.

Jesus is God.
God is love.
We need to love.
Love with our whole heart.
Love everybody.
Treat people the way you would treat yourself, or someone you love.
You can talk to God too...
So many nights, I would cry.
Cry because I thought my parents didn't love me, or that now that they had five other attention-grabbers, all they needed me for was to babysit.

I cry a lot.
Probably once a week at the least.
But I also cry out to God.
I honestly don't think I'd be here right now if I didn't have Jesus all those nights.
All these nights.
You see, I love my parents to an extent.
But my love for Jesus has no extent.
Jesus loves me so much, even more than anyone in the world.
Just thinking about that alone strikes a key in my heart.
He loves.
Me.
You.
Everyone.

And we should do the same.

This song represents everything you go through in life;
Everyone has a wound to be healed.
There really is beauty here!
There really is meaning here!


"Though I walk,
Though I walk through the shadows
And I, I am so afraid
Please stay, please stay right beside me
With every single step I take"
