I Want More..

I have realized lately how my life and how I live it impacts the people around me. Lately, I have also met a lot of “Christians.” The people who use “Christian” as a label and not a life style. It’s a relationship not a religion, something I realize is true more and more every day. We are called to love but I look around and I see so much hate. Especially from these so called “Christians.” I’m not perfect and I am guilty of not doing everything in love but God is opening my eyes and showing me how to. I now realized how everything I do reflects who Jesus is. I look around and wonder why Christians and God are so stereotyped and I realize that being a “Christian” is how this happens.  A “Christian” who sits on a church pew every Sunday but doesn’t let the words the pastor says really changes his life or his heart. The “Christians” that raise their hands on Sundays in youth group but then go to school on Monday and make fun of their fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. What’s the point if it doesn’t really change you? Something I am I guilty of so many times. I don’t want to be a “Christian”, I want more. We are called to be Jesus on this Earth. We have such a short time here and unlimited chances to show people who Jesus is. But how can they ever see Jesus if our self is standing in the way. It’s time to be real. To really surrender and not conform to this messed up, ungodly world. This world is full of lies and we as followers of Jesus Christ are here to spread the truth. Every day is a choice for who you are going to live for: yourself? Your popularity?  The world? Or are you really going to live for the creator of the universe? The one who knows your whole heart, your greatest fears, your deepest desires and your unhealed wounds and still loves you enough to step off His safe throne above and died so you can live eternally with Him <3
