Beware of Christians

Tonight I went to see a movie made by four college students called "Beware of Christians". These boys went to Europe to redefine their thoughts on Christianity in a world where being a Christian is not the norm. This video completely rocked my world and definitely got me thinking. One of the things that stood out is the verse Galatians 6:2 which says "Carry each others burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." So here it goes: me being completely honest and throwing out those things that right now I am struggling with. I'm not asking for anyone to read this and "solve" my problems, but to be aware and be praying that God moves in my heart and gives me the patience to understand Him and his perfect timing.

1. I am struggling with accepting myself and the way I look. Having been told I cannot ever wear contacts again has completely broken me to the point that on some days I don't know what to do.

2. I cannot accept the fact that a loved one of mine has removed me from their life. It makes it hard for me to understand God's love....if those who are supposed to love me choose not to, who will?

3. I have a hard time knowing that my best friend will not be 30 minutes away next year and knowing that I won't see her is one of the hardest things I have ever had to deal with.


These three things might not seem like a big deal to most, but they have brought me to tears many nights and I need to be able to move past these things so that God can work in me and through me. I don't want to be a complacent person and enjoy where I am for the rest of my life. I want to be challenged and pushed to understand God and his perfect love more, but in order to do that, I need to let go of my pain and my agenda and look for comfort in Him.

But having ranted some, please take a moment to think about those things that are weighing you down. I encourage you to take this verse to heart and allow someone to help you by listening.
