I Am Not Ashamed

I am a believer in Jesus....His love, His sacrifice ....Everything He stood for and died for...There are so many labels in this world and so much judgement that it drowns out the love ....I pray everyday to feel and see his love in everything and everyone, even when it looks or appears bad, I take the time to search and understand and care...I've been judged as being naive, a fool, different....I am not the model Christian, I have fallen down a million times, I have gotten involved at church only to be rejected, because I didn't meet their requirements, or act the way they wanted me to, I have struggled with vices, and addiction, and meeting up to other people's standards of living, I've tried so hard I forgot who I am, I've written my heart out to God in my poetry on this site for years, and I just would like to say... I am not ashamed.... Thank you, Rachael

Good job, Cortney/Rachael. I don't believe all the same things you do, but we all may learn from our past. That you don't act the way somebody else or some other group wants you to act is no guarantee you are in the wrong, no matter what they might try to ascribe their opinion to. Be strong within yourself.
