There’s this girl that I sit by in my bio class and we are worlds apart in our beliefs. Today she said “You’re not someone I would usually hang out with. You love Jesus and stuff but you don’t force him on me, you show him to me...you know what I mean?” Wow I’ve prayed for that.
And this is one of the many reasons why no one wants to be a Christian. I am so sorry to anyone who’s been hurt by a Christian or the church. My Jesus didn’t treat people that way. I love you, He loves you, and you are asked to come as you are. He’ll work out the rest I promise.
“I grew up in a world where a woman who looks like me, with my kind of skin and my kind of hair, was never considered to be beautiful. I think it is time that that stops today. I want children to look at me and see my face and I want them to see their faces reflected in mine." 👸🏿
My whole perception of Jesus changed when I asked Him to help me see His characteristics in His children. I started seeing Him in the kindness of the cashier, in the patience of the waiter, in the servant heart of a guy who thought no one noticed. Seeking Jesus is so beautiful.
I’m glad Christians want to go on mission trips, but if we can’t be on mission where we’re at then we don’t really want to go on mission trips, we just want to go on trips. There’s people who need Jesus in our own backyard. Let’s go on mission trips downtown. They need Jesus too.
The enemy comes dressed in delight. Just because it looks like it could be Jesus doesn’t mean it is. The Devil is the master manipulator. He can’t create so he mimics. Spend time with Jesus y’all. The more you get to know Him the easier it is to identify His voice.
I’ve been told I was loved by God my whole life, but when the GOD OF THE UNIVERSE tells you Himself that HE loves you it hits different. It will completely change your life. Trust me I know.
