my mini revelation....lol

so i blogged this on myspace and just thought i would copy and paste it over

what if i stumble, what if i fall

a new revelation.

what if you messed up in the past. what if you have sin in your life. what if you dont go to church? what if you dont know jesus? i think that there is a big change coming. i think a new revelation. its late, im a little sleepy, yet God has placed this on my heart so here we go!!

my friend katie's brother said it, and it cracks me up: katie asked him to go to church with her. his responce, "ill catch on fire!!". if you think condemnation is coming you are mistaken. if you are feeling condemned in your church, you are at the wrong church. Jesus came and DIED so that you can be free in him.

and know that when you do know Jesus, and you believe fully that He died for you and your sins, and you accept Him as your Lord and Savior, even then it is ok to mess up. im not saying to go out and look for it, but part of being a christian, is saying "hey i mess up and i need you Jesus".

if being a christian meant that you were gonna be perfect, then there would be no need for God. and then Jesus died for no reason at all. and the bible then must be completely false.

if you dont know Jesus, and are curious, pursue it. if your scared to go to church, come with me. i promise you will not be condemned. or judged at ALL. or pick up a bible. if you need one, come to my church once and grab one. or buy a cheap one at the store (one you can understand though!! there are different wordings/translations, and some are easier than others. i read NLT, New Living Translation) Talk to me with ideas! i love to talk about God!! its one of my favorite things!

going to church and pursuing Jesus, but still dont quite know him? keep looking. and reading. and talking. and know that you are going to mess up. you are going to sin. and remember that you can come back from that without shame, if you repent!! go to God with everything. know when you fall, Jesus is there to help you up. He's NOT there shaking his head in disgust (thats satan) Jesus is the best friend there for you through thick and thin. Good choices and bad choices.

know Jesus? this is where i am. dont feel shame by mistakes. they are mistakes. dont regret, repent!! regret only eats away at you. know that God gives you choices everyday, and it is up to you to choose them. when you choose wrong, go to God. when you choose right, rejoice in His guidance and goodness. Know that you need God! and know that He loves you more than anything else He has created! (this one is for everyone btw, he loves everyone this much!! even if you dont know him) look around at His wonderful creations, and know that He was 'pleased' with everything He made, but when He got to us, He was 'very pleased'!!! do not let the devil tell you that you have strayed TOO far!! too far is when you no longer believe in Jesus and dont accept Him as your savior anymore. know that God said "I will never leave you or forsake you". (hebrews 13:5) take that as truth. when He feels far He is closer than you think. He never leaves us. it says it in the bible!!
