Im a Christian... Do I find it hard to Turn the other cheek? Yes, I do. In fact, Id be lying if I said otherwise. Im not a good liar. (Awesome storyteller though) Do I find it hard to love my enemy. Of course, especially when they are so loudly hating me, and Im so silently loving them. All that is seen is the screams. Do I find it hard to not be envious of others? Yup, its really, really hard... but then I stop and think that they may be in a boat far worse than my tiny raft. You see in the end, I struggle with being a good person. I do it. Even if others base their opinion of me on my religion. Even more so when they judge me for the ones that call themselves Christians, yet hardly act it. I struggle with right and wrong, love and hate, financial issues the works. But MY faith in God makes it all bearable. It makes me happy and it makes me live a better life- even if that life is within a cardboard box, in my mothers home or some place I can barely make the rent on. I will not blame all the good and bad on God or the devil. That would be stupid for me to caste blame of one misfortune or the other upon a being that I simply believe granted me life and the teachings on how to be a kind person. Its the people that chose to be horrible that make the world miserable. I will fight that with every smile and corny I love you that I can muster till the day I die. God would not put me in a sinking ship, so if my boat gets holes I shall patch them. If my raft topples over I will see it was to guide me in getting me the hell off of that shoddy raft and onto a much more comfy life raft. Not everything is as it seems, and I refuse to be dragged down by blind hate. I love you all
