Who I Am

     In this world everyone defines themselves by who or what they identify with. I wrote something on my Facebook as my statement, no words can capture the essence of the soul. I truly believe that, there is no one like you or no one like me.
     But there is One that I identify myself with and that is God. I am a Christian, a born again Christian. I believe with all of my heart. In this world it is not a very popular thing to be. One can understand why in some ways when you see how those who claim to believe act. I am not talking about doing things that are wrong, I am talking about the hateful way they treat others, some going so far as to tell others that God hates them. My Bible says God is love, how can love hate, it is the complete opposite of who God is.
     If there was anyone who didn't fit in with the establishment it was Jesus. he was different and He blew alot of people's minds with His words. They couldn't understand or comprehend Him, it was because they were trying to do it in a worldly way. You can't put God in a box, He's far too big and believe me He's not a pie in the sky that watches you from some distant plain. He lives breathes and moves in love. He is spirit that cannot be contained.
     I always loved what C.S. Lewis said when he was asked about prayer. He said it is like a fountain that wells up inside of my soul and pours forth. It is not some dead ritual of praying so many times a day with ritualistic words, it also is alive. It wells inside of me with a longing accompanying it. It is without words sometimes, it is fueled from a well of love deep within me. Many times if not always tears flow when I pray. They are my fountain that pours forth. The Bible says God bottles our tears, I reckon I have alot of bottles stored away.
     I want to tell you this, if you have ever known a Christian who told you that God didn't love you, they were wrong. I can absolutely say with all certainty that you are loved, precious and special.
     Many times I like to include a song with my blog entry. He makes beautiful things. Don't ever forget that you are beautiful.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyPBtExE4W0
