As a follower and believer of Christ, I know not everyone will support me. If you know nothing about me, please know that I do not serve my purpose for applause. The only applause I care about hearing is my Father's.
I know a seed was planted in my life. In order to blossom, I must stay committed to the process. Not everyone will see or understand my vision, but God knows, for He gave it to me. Times do get tough and I feel like quitting, but I shake the enemy off because I know that God sees the greatness in me and He sees what I do. I am not alone. Feeling Different As a high school student, only 15 years of age, it's not normal to talk about Jesus all of the time. I sometimes feel so different- (That's where the tough times come in). But as followers of Christ, we ARE different. The world is governed by the enemy. The tricks of the enemy lie in the earth's crust. As following Christ, we are stepping out on something we believe in. The world will be shocked. The world will not approve. But we believe. We know. That's what make us special. That's what make us different. That's what makes us unique! It's awesome to be different. And you may feel alone at times.. that's totally normal. There is a season when you walk alone. Honestly, that's the time when you get to become closer and closer to God. It's a beautiful thing. But who said this walk would be easy? It's the commitment. Committing to stand up for God, and to share the love of God. Not Today Satan If you ever feel discouraged, please know that that is not of God. Satan wants you to feel so different that you turn back into the worldly ways. You are a seedling of Christ. He is leaning in your direction. As long as you stay committed, He will bring you the blessings to make you grow. Giving your life to God means dying to the old you. You're no longer this worldly person. You've surrendered. God promised me a fresh start on life. He laid out the path and handed me the shoes. There's going to be obstacles- (I've already had obstacles) that will almost take you out, but it's the dedication, the commitment, and the love that keeps me going. I've seen what God has done in my life, and honestly, I should be 6 feet under. But I'm not. I'm alive and amazed. No man will ever be able to tell me that God isn't real. I've seen him touch lives right in front of my own eyes. I've felt his presence in the middle of the night. I know. I believe. I don't need the approval of man to share what I KNOW. I read the word of God, and every verse I read, I know my God will bring it to pass. That's why I'm committed to the process. God got me.
