Life with Jesus

Life as a Christian is not an easy one. Most people think that it's just reading the bible, praying, and showing up on Sunday. The truth is it's much more than that. Most Christians have a lot of faith but this faith is not just something you wake up with one day. It's something that is earned, and not easily I might add because you serve a God that does not speak to you, and you cannot see (well not most of us). The only real proof most of us have is the fear of Him and the knowledge of Him in our hearts. Most people don't  have to worry about what is right and wrong except for mans laws. They can do what they want, say what they want, and not have to worry about values or take responsibilities for their actions. They worry only about themselves and personal interest, get rich with no worry of the consequence they have on the environment or their fellow man. Life as a Christian is not so easy because you have to believe in the God Almighty and serve Him by serving your fellow man. You must be faithful to your spouse, watch what you say, be humbled in all your actions, be righteous, follow the ten commandments, not being prideful and not judge others; all while being faithful yourself and spreading the word of the bible. You might also be mocked and made fun of for believing in God. Almost every one around you is going to be foul mouth, prideful, and glutenous as to try to make you be like them. Many times we are islands in a sea of sin. Many times it's your very own people who try to make you sin, it was not the Pagans after all who crucified Jesus, but the believers. The hardest thing for me was to let go of all the wrong that has been done to me, and is something I'm still working on. It's so hard to let go when the ones who hurt you are so close, but who else would you let get that close to hurt you in the first place? However, when you are able to let it go I'm here to testify that you well be set free from all the sorrow of your heart and have a new life, a life you can live happily.When you add that to a life you try to live sin free (we are all sinners) you truly can have your little peace of heaven on earth. Whether you believe or not we all know that the bible tells us what not to do, and we should not do it because it causes the destruction of our society. Living without sin is hard even almost impossible, but when you do you don't have to be looking over you shoulder to see if your enemy is coming, or if that person heard what you said, if your spouse learned what you have been doing, or if your lie has been found out. I'm not writing this as a perfect Christian but as a flawed human being. If you are lost and want to find a new way I ask you to forget all the negative things you have heard about the church, pick up a bible, and open your heart. Do not stop when you read something you don't like because it takes time to understand. Bible study really helps if you cannot understand for your self, and if you find yourself in a church full of hypocrites don't leave God, leave that church and go to another. I myself am still trying to find my way so if you do see me lost help me find my way and I'll do the same for you.
