Bringing the love back

I want to put up a post in response to a video I watched last night on YouTube. If you want me to email it to you or you want the link just let me know in the comment below.

Any way, Emmanuella (that’s the girl who uploaded the video ) said some interesting things that I found thought provoking. As Christians  do we show love to others or because they do not agree with our Faith we shun them and treat them as “infidels”. We were all not born saved, I have my story of salvation and you have yours. If you don’t have one, its on its way.  According to her, being a christian was more or less telling people how good she was and how she kept all the commandments, her Christianity was a “pretty coat over a dirty body”.

Sadly, many of us are still like that, we are more interested in showing people our righteousness instead of love. Jesus loved people. He had compassion. He interceded on behalf of others. Remember the time you were unsaved, when all you needed was love, even if you didn't know it. God gave us individual experiences of His love so we could channel it to others. This does not mean you should fellowship with unbelievers or be unequally yoked because light and darkness cannot commune, there will never be understanding because darkness cannot comprehend light. Rather, let your actions and daily interactions be love filled, some times all that is needed is intercession. No city in the time of the disciples was taken without prayer. You need to create the atmosphere to set the captives free.

Are you willing to lose sleep and fast for the life of another? No greater love is this, that one lays down his life for another. Can you lay down your life for another? Its not always about death, sometimes it’s a bit of discomfort, hunger, pain.  Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted, your mourning for the lost will led to a salvation that will bring you comfort.

You might be reading this and be asking yourself what the heck is this girl talking about. There is no God, there is no proof of His existence, enjoy life and do whatever you want, sleep around, get drunk, Y.O.L.O.  Well, let me burst that bubble of yours *getting a hat pin*

There is a God, His touch is in every aspect of creation, a yearning to know Him is in us, the problems is that many people choose to satisfy that with the wrong things, and never find what they are looking for.  Why am I saving myself for the man I will marry? Simply because I know the value God places on me, I can get away with sleeping around, grace abounds, God will forgive. But remember that whatever you sow you shall reap it, keep that up and soon you will reap a bountiful harvest of STD s, insecurity, self-hate  anger, confusion, loss of self-respect, fear, the list is endless.  

I’m not a prude, I’m not frigid, I know how to get down and dirty *popping, locking and dropping it* but I also know that I am a princess, a daughter of the most high and I will not disgrace my father or hurt Him in anyway. Its not about the number of times you've sinned, its not about the lies you've told, the people you've slept with or the things you've done in the dark. Its about Jesus and what He has done. He was made sin so we would be without sin, all we need to do is trust. I mean what do you have to lose?  If you believe there's no life after death then you have nothing to lose if Christianity is a myth right? Give it a shot. There a people in Christ who have done much worse than you can imagine. I meet fellow brothers and sisters and I’m continually amazed at the power of God at work within us, so don’t let your feelings of guilt keep you away because Y.O.D.O (you only die once, Hebrews 9:27)

And to my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, spread the love.  Join the movement, we were called to love. Love like Jesus did.
