No one forced you to become a Christian.

No one forced you to become a Christian.

We’ve all had times in our lives when we did what we shouldn’t have done and when the realization that we’ve messed up again hits us, we become sorry and feel like we’ve hurt this Being who gave everything to bring us to himself.

I’ve been there too.

I’ve felt silly, guilty, stupid among many other negative feelings because it hit me that it isn’t just normal for me to do everything I feel like, because I don’t own myself anymore. No one put a gun to my head to surrender to Jesus. No one forced me to say ‘yes’ to a love relationship with God.
I said yes because oh, being a child of God is everything beautiful. Thinking of all the things covering me as a loved daughter of God sometimes bring tears to my life. Because, why sir? Why give someone guiltless and without sin to death, because of a low key hoodlum like me? Because, why sir? Why would you love me so much to prove my worth to me by giving your most precious son? Because, why sir? Why would you keep choosing me and fighting for me no matter how far I strayed. Because, why Daddy? Why a girl like me?

I don’t want to be forced to live a godly life since I wasn’t forced to submit to God as a Christian.
If you feel you need to be forced to stay in Christianity, then we need to review the ‘yes’ you said to Jesus. Was it dependent on the fact that you saw a better life and wanted it, or you just feel you can use God to receive all the beautiful blessings reserved for Christians, and live the way your flesh dictates.

The inheritance is for sons.
The inheritance is for sons.
Come to Jesus again, this time with the right intentions and motivation to love Jesus and the life God wants us to live.

I know that this is a daily struggle with the flesh, but I’m happy because in Christ, I’ve won. Don’t think that the flesh isn’t still striving to rule in your life simply because you’re a Christian now. It’s a fight, every single day. We win in Christ, every single day.

Remember, I’m available for discussions.
Send me a message via my email address, anytime.
Thank you!

I love you, and God loves you even better.
Keep basking in God’s Love..
