Christian’s see the world in a totally different way, correct? Or at least we are “supposed to.” We are not of this world, we follow Jesus that’s why people hate us and look down on us for what we are and what we stand for.
18“If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first.19The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you. John 15:18,19 NLT
Have you ever thought about if you are a dreamer or a realist?? People question themselves if they are an introvert, or an extrovert. Let’s be legit here, and answer that question… do you consider yourself a dreamer or a realist??
Going by the definitions above from a site I found via google (thefreedictionary.com) a writer is a realist… ??
Whoa, didn’t see that coming… (sarcasm)
The world views us as “dreamers” those that don’t believe in God that is, something that is not real, made up… how could they??
How could you not believe in God?? That is something that is so hard for me to get.
I guess it is because I have been in the church since I was younger and in high school and until now I have always been around Christian’s. I know right from wrong, I pray to God the father, and I know that he loved the world so much that he sent his son to die for it so that we could be free from sin, and that Jesus loves me… (John 3:16, Romans 8:34) How do we stay on track… the fruits of the spirit, Galatians 5:22 start there and continue.
Christian’s are realists… God is real because the bible tells us about him and also we know that Jesus came and died on the cross for us to be free. The ones that are dreamers are those that believe in their thoughts of God that are not real.
4“You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea. 5You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected—even children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me. 6But I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love me and obey my commands.
7“You must not misuse the name of the Lord your God. The Lord will not let you go unpunished if you misuse his name. Exodus 20:4-6.
If you pray, even if you have the smallest bit of faith and ask God show me who you are, in Jesus name… I am sure that he will show you who he is. God is not dead; although the world might assume that he is, he isn’t dead folks!! He sees everything that is going on on the earth.
We need to stop getting so comfortable with who the world thinks that we are, and show them just what we are about.
We need to wake up the world!!!! Shine our light for all to see!!!! There is so much hate and anger in this world, what are we doing to try and change that??
My name is Stephanie and I am a introvert, and a realist… who are you??
What is your identity??
All that we work for to look good, feel good, be somebody is NOTHING!!!! (Luke 12:15-21) also reminds me of one of my favorite songs, for the youngsters out there… “identity” by Lecrae… (listening to Christian rap while writing, figured I would add that in there.
