Being a Christian

What does it mean to be a Christian? Simple, knowing with all of your heart that Jesus Christ was a sacrifice for our sins and we are redeemed by his love. That's it! I remember when I was little and I didn't have a strong relationship with God, I just didn't understand the beauty and extent of what God's love can do for us. It is more of a freedom... from guilt, depression, hate, the dark feelings that can take over you without you realizing they have a hold over you. Am I the perfect Christian... absolutely not!! Will I ever be.. No! That's what is so amazing about God's love. He forgives when we continue to sin, he loves when we are unlovable, and he is faithful! I struggle every single day with the sins of this world, and my sins are no better than any other. I have hurt people with my words, I have been selfish, I have been envious, and all around negative. I have to ask for God to guide me daily in the trials and tribulations of life. What I have found though, is that with God all things are possible and I am no longer scared to try things I am being called upon to do. Have you acknowledged God as your savior? If you haven't, it's never to late!!! God is waiting for you!
