My Passion For Christ

I'm not a bible scholar. I didn't go to school to be a traveling over seas missionary.   I try to attend church every week, but sometimes something pops up. I hate to swear but I know I do sometimes.  I know I should respect my husband more to stay clear from bad fights. But, ask him, and I probably disrespected him sometime today.... You see where I am going with this?

Well, it's a DUH I'm not perfect, and I don't waste my time trying to be, because I know that will never happen. Well, maybe there are a few times, my perfectionist side comes out but not all the time though.  Anyways, all I really want to share with you is my passion for Christ.  Some of you who really know me, I hope know my stand for God. I know I can't perform miracles to entice your zeal to know God more.  However, all I can do is share my love and passion I have for Chriat.  Friends, if I don't share this with you, it's like I am being totally selfish. "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (‭Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭19-20‬ NIV)

Please don't misunderstand me, I can talk to you about God till I am blue in the face.  I can share with you how He has blessed my life, and tell you all the reasons You should believe and accept God, if you haven't already.  But, no matter what I do or say, the final decision is on you.  And, no matter what you choose, I will still love and accept you.  I believe we should hate the sin but, love the sinner.

I want to share an example from my life that literally just happened 5 minutes ago.  I have a friend in her early 40s who has a plethora of challenges, that I will not elaborate on to keep her identity hidden. This friend of mine has a particular sin I confronted her about.   I simply asked if she would respect my wishes.  This was via text message, so I was unable to view her nonverbal responses.  I'm thinking she was angry because her response was to the nature of her saying, "  if she didn't partake
in that sin,...then we can no longer be friends." Immediately, I texted her back telling her  " I am your friend and I will accept you as you are."  See, how that motto hate the sin and love the sinner comes into play.  As far as her refraining from the sin, I believe God may or may not do something about that.  Either way, whatever He decides I will still love and accept her for who she is.
