hmm..haven't written in a while. i've been oober busy. which is good/bad. good: it's for the Lord, bad: i haven't had time to really reflect.
...and this morning i woke up with chest pains again.
OH!! HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!! i kinda wanna say happy INTERdependence day b/c we are never fully independent anyway. but that's just meeeh.
i'm actually kind of..what do you call it?...sad? i posted this on facebook:
Jackie Kikuchi bahhh!!! i love God sooooooooooooooooo much!!! He is so good. i feel like there's nothing i can do to show how good He has been to me. today's devo gave me the chicken skin. Jude 1:4 "I say this because some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches, saying that God's marvelous GRACE allows us to LIVE IMMORAL LIVES."
and then one of my "friends" on facebook posted this as a response:
"Well you are forgiven for all sins, so you pretty much you can live immorally. most christians i know take advantage of that. Hypocrites and assholes. Amen!"
wowwwwwwwwwwwww. really, how do you feel when you read that?
i guess some of us are immune to that kind of response. some of us already think that and agree. and then there are those that know the TRUTH--->christianity is NOT a belief, it's a LIFESTYLE. there are SOO many who don't know the truth, and for a good reason. it's a common fact that if you just "believe" that God exists, you are considered a christian. we grew up believing this. i believed this too! the difference between one who is a Christian and one who just believes there is a God, is that one actually intentionally lives their lives to be more Christ-like. thinkaboutit.
what grieved me most about the facebook incident isn't the response to the comment, or the person who responded, but what grieved me most was just the fact that as humans, we are sooooo foolish. SOOOOO FOOLISH! we make such foolish decisions and believe foolish ideas WHICH HURT OTHER PEOPLE. it really does amaze me to know how patient and loving our God is.
God is soooo awesome....

Hey, how come you have chest pains? Please get that checked out okay?!
ReplyDeleteAbout the FB comment... I'm sad too. Whenever I hear "Christians" show ungodly character I cringe. Christians already have a bad image because of people living inconsistent lives we don't need to give the world another reason...
I agree with what you said and I'm quickly reminded that they are just expressing what they've been taught through false teachers. That's why it's sooooo incredibly important that we go out into the world and LIVE a Godly life so that the teachings we give have AUTHORITY through the Spirit.
Continue to love God by being transparent... people will see Jesus.
