So, Ive been feeling led to share my thoughts about my humble opinions about those of us who are Christ followers for a couple of weeks & feel even more inclined today after reading another post about Atheists & Non-believers. For me, its not about religion & belonging to a church (although there are few experiences that feed my soul like worshipping alone, or with my family & friends & learning to think deeper & be challenged by messages rich with scripture), its not about comparing man made laws & perceptions, its not about believing that Im better, more moral, its not that Im weak or needy because I need my Gods direction & presence in my life. Its about my relationship with my God, the creator of the universe, the creator of all things of beauty in this world, the inexplicable peace, encouragement, love, grace, forgiveness that comes not from anything in this tangible world or anything that I can do, but for me, it comes from Him, my rock & my hope. I would want to share my walk with you if you are questioning, doubting, wrestling with, or curious about why I turn my eyes & heart toward Him as I struggle to find my purpose in this journey. I would want to tell you that I am a sinner, I fail often, I dont & cant understand how or why some things happen, but that I know that He is with me, thats its not a wish or dream or fairy tale - it is as real as the love, trust, & relationships I share with my children, my family, & best friends. So, if a Christian wants to talk to you or your child about this amazing relationship filled with peace, joy, conviction, love, hope, & belonging that this world just cant quite offer - please dont be offended. I believe that its because we cannot imagine living this life without Him & we simply want you to give Him a chance - give Him an opportunity to show up in your daily struggles & in your successes - give Him your doubts & frustration. God works in me usually in quiet whisperings, but sometimes in bold convictions. Today I am reaching out because of a deep unrest, my intention is not to offend or condescend - it is simply to share a tiny bit of my story of grace, love, peace, & wholeness because of my faith, belief, & reliance on Him.
