So recently I was at a wedding to celebrate a relative getting married and I learned what type of Christian I do not want to be. A in person, live and up close lesson. I’ve made changes in my life lately not because of issues with people, but because of issues within myself that I struggled with. I struggled for almost 10 years to find peace, happiness, joy, victory and a place to really belong. I found places to rest but never found that place where I belonged where I could grow and become what God had in store for me.
So, I made a move that has given me all that I’ve been searching for. Recently I discovered that I had let my dreams and desires die and I feel like it’s all coming back. I’m beginning to rebuild my dreams and I’m growing in my walk with God. It’s like I’m a flower that was just a bloom and I have found a place to settle and unfold. I’m happy, I love life, I’m excited about church and God again and it’s been a loooooong time since I could really say that. Plus, I’m getting involved and having a great time.
Well, yesterday my path crossed with people who don’t like the change I made. It disturbs me that they would have the audacity to pull someone aside and make a comment that would put me in a bad light. LOL. You know? Who are YOU to judge if my church teaches truth or does not and Who do you think you are to judge the holiness of my church when you have NEVER been there???? It’s funny to me that ministers find a way to justify their opinions of judgment. I’m happy and that is what matters. What is REALLY funny is this. The comment regarded demanding that an individual didn’t leave and go to a different church because their “current” church “preaches truth”. OK, here is the laugh for the day. My church and the other persons church believe the same way. Their Pastor and my new Pastor are on just about the same page. So be careful when you judge and divide. LOL. You might not know what you are talking about.
What I learned yesterday at a wedding was this. I want to be Christ-like and love everyone for who they are. I may not agree with their ways but that is OK because I’m just a human. I’ll let God be the one to make the big decisions. All your opinions did was lower you in my eyes. If we can’t love each other and over look our mistakes than how can we expect that kind of love from God?
As a kid/teenager I had big dreams and they all died but I sit here tonight writing this and thinking, they are coming back. I don’t have huge dreams but I keep finding the pieces to old dreams and desires peeking out at me and as I reclaim each piece someday they will all come together and I will be exactly what I need and want to be.
