I wont lie, it is not always easy being a Christian. You will feel hurt, disappointment, sadness. People who you thought were your friends will disappear. Your own family will delete you from facebook and stop talking to you. Its hard, it really is. Sometimes I sit here and wonder why? Shouldn't those people be happy for me? I get it, they don't understand. I mean, Jesus warned us about it. I love them anyway and pray for them.
But one thing that is even harder, is a life without Jesus. I realize that now. I often wished I would of gave my life to Jesus sooner but it was meant to happen this way. Christian life may not be easy but I would not have it any other way. I mean, who else offered to die for my sins? Who else loves me THAT much. Why would I not want to live my life to Christ? Who forgave me for my sins and promises me eternal life in His kingdom. That He would be with me every step of the way. It's not always easy being a Christian because you have to live your life a certain way. A life similar to how Jesus lived his. One where you will sometimes feel oppressed, where you will not be understood. You might even be hated for it, but I am just passing by here. My citizenship is in heaven with My God. That is what matters the most. I don't have to live my life like Jesus, I get to.
Jesus offers so much more than this world could ever. Everything from this world will pass. But not the life I have in Jesus. A life with Jesus means you will have hope for your future, peace that surpasses all understanding. Love that you never felt before. He will give you wisdom and strength. You will have the promise of an eternal life. He can be trusted. And His Word is always the truth.
God bless, Nancy xo
