MUST WATCH: Does anybody know you are a Christian

Crazy thing is with facebook and all that now, we have taken the Gospel to a different level. Question is Do people think you are a christian because of your actions? or Do people think you are a Christian because you are acting??

Whats the Point of this?

Sometimes it feels like we are part of one big robot factory and my life is not what it is meant to be. Who am I? What am I here on earth for. I struggle with my identity because it seems like everyone has a say in who I am and who I should be, except me. It's as if life is one big illusion and I have to try and fit in or blend into the picture. My music tells me what kind of clothes to wear, what kind of life to live, how I should look at or treat the opposite sex. I feel pressured amongst my friends to try and be like them, I would do anything for them to like me and to not think that I am  a weirdo. But it seems like the more I try and make others accept me the more unhappy I become. I've done  it all, from the countless nights getting drunk out of my mind, to treating the opposite sex like a sport and bragging about how they like me, to buying all kinds of brands and clothing so that society would accept me. But none of it could make me happy.


This changed when I found Jesus and he became the center of my living and joy. I have come to realise that I was never created to fit in or to be like someone else. I was never created to be a replica or a carbon copy of something that already exists. When God made me he had a special plan for me because he loves me so much. He wanted the world to celebrate my uniqueness and love me for my difference. 

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

God knows why I am I here, and as long as I live I dont want to try and be like other people.  I want to be like me, because there is no one better at being me.....than ME.

Perfection is a process

It is amazing how we think that other people's lives and that if only i could get to be like him or her then my life would be set. We all have our flaws and our weaknesses, but we unfortunately live in an environment which is vigilant and demeaning to people who show their weaknesses. Sometimes it feels like the world is caving in and what im so desperately trying to maintain is burning down in front of my very own eyes. The image of strength swiftly turns to weakness, vulnerability and insecurity.

But we are fortunate to have someone who loves us so much, whose furious love for us is what fueled his desire to pay the price that we should have paid. The death which we should have suffered he took for us on the cross. It's that love that drives me to know who he is and WHY he did it for me? Why me of all people? What did i do to deserve this kind of love.....NOTHING. He calls me closer everyday and tells me that he can fix everything that is wrong, and all I have to do is trust him and he will get me in the right shape...

So where do I have to go? He tells me that his workshop is in my heart and he will slowly start working on me because I am his masterpiece.

So where Am I at right now? I'm Glad you asked...I'm in his Garage.
