I Hate When People Assume

So, how's everybody tonight? I am doing okay. This post isn't so much a deep thought-provoking post as you are all used to (haha) but more of a little blip between blogs. I will have a new one up by Tuesday afternoon that is going to be long and full of bible verses. I'm starting to plan out my blogs before I post them. I also wanted to say that I really hate when people assume things. Don't assume that Christians are judgemental and legalistic. The greatest responsibility of a Christian is to love, no matter what race or religion or how many fingers they have. And just a side note, I apologize if I offended anyone with the sex post. That was not the intention. I am very passionate about what I believe and I retain the right to write about it. However, I am not telling anyone how to live their life. I am just saying what I truly believe. I also truly believe that you can never do anything without offending someone to the point that I think someone will probably be offended by the sloth post. And sloths are just adorable. Back to love. 1Cor 13:13 " And now of these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love". Esphesians 4:32 "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you". Somewhere in John it says clearly that "God is love". And finally, John 15:17 "This is my command: Love each other". Spoken by Jesus himself.

Christians are often given a bad rep because oftentimes, people who call themselves Christians are just into the religion and legalistics. The whole obey the law thing. But Jesus says that the fulfillment of the law is loving each other. As a faithful young woman, I do not judge others (well, I do the best I can. I am human, but I try my best). It is not up to me to decide what is best for anyone. It is up to God. All I can do is love and support those around me, and try to spread the word of God. Other than that, I can do no more. To anyone who has ever been judged or hurt by a Christian, I am sorry. I am sorry if you have ever been judged or made to believe that God and His followers are anything less than loving and accepting. I admit, Christians fail constantly. We get judgemental and critical and very gung ho about our ideas, sometimes forgetting that others may have things to say. I try my best to listen and accept and understand. It can be hard when you believe in something so fiercely. But God has given me a job, and that job is to love every soul He has created without question. That is what a true Christian does. We love and accept and pray to God every day to forgive us our failures. I love you all. Goodnight and God bless
