It's time for me to obey again. I have been running from this calling time and time again out of fear. But here I am, choosing to obey once more and share the good news on this platform, HIS unconditional love, HIS goodness, HIS salvation, and encourage everyone who reads this. For the past few years, I’ve heard these words many times, and now I want to share you something with these. Here's what I’ve Heard: "Christians are judgmental." "Church is for perfect people; why would I even go there?" "Don’t push your beliefs onto others; just accept theirs." "They told me I’ll go to hell because I’m gay." "CHURCH IS FOR PERFECT PEOPLE." Let me be clear: the church is not for perfect people. It is for broken people who need JESUS in their lives, and we are all broken. As JESUS said, the doctor is not for the healthy but for the sick who need healing (Luke 5:31-32). Everyone in church is imperfect, still being molded and perfected by our heavenly FATHER. So, if you see flaws in others, it’s because they are works in progress, just like you and me. When we go to church, let’s not focus on the people we see but on HIM. When you do, you’ll begin to see others as GOD sees them, with love and compassion. And let’s be honest: if anyone were perfect, they’d probably be in heaven already! Haha Because we are broken and imperfect, we need our perfect FATHER to heal, restore, and redeem us. Only the Potter knows His work, and we are HIS handiwork. Without HIM, we remain in pieces. When we feel lost and broken, we need only to turn to our Creator. Pour your heart out to HIM, and HE will restore you, your life, and all the broken parts of you. "DON'T PUSH YOUR BELIEFS ONTO ME." I want to apologize to anyone who has been hurt by people who approached this the wrong way. The reason we share the Gospel, the Good News, is that we can’t help but talk about what GOD has done in our lives. We want to share the salvation and love we’ve received. We share out of love for HIM and for those we speak to, but ultimately, it’s up to each person to decide whether to accept it or not. JESUS doesn’t force HIS love on anyone, HE respects our free will. And as HIS followers, we should do the same. Some people misunderstand this and try to force their faith on others, but that is not the way of JESUS. HIS love is gentle, not coercive. "I WILL NO LONGER BE SAVED BECAUSE I'M GAY." I’ve heard this many times, and I want to address it. I once identified as bisexual, attracted to both genders. But does being gay mean you’re automatically condemned or beyond salvation? Absolutely not. Salvation is for EVERYONE, including you. JESUS doesn’t condemn you for who you are today. HE loves you unconditionally, no matter your past or present. However, HIS love doesn’t leave you where you are, it transforms you into the person HE created you to be. When you accept JESUS into your life, HE changes you, just as HE changed me. You become a new creation. What once seemed impossible to overcome or change is made possible through HIM. There are countless testimonies of people transformed by JESUS, and if HE did it for them, HE can do it for you too. All you need to do is accept HIM. And to those hurt by others claiming to represent CHRIST but who condemned you instead, I want to say I’m sorry. That is not the JESUS I know. HE does not condemn; HE loves, embraces, and transforms. HE LOVES YOU. When you feel hopeless, remember that there is hope in JESUS. As long as you’re alive, there’s a chance to return to HIM. HE looks at your heart, not your past, present, or your actions. Right now, HE is inviting you to come to HIM.
