What God Has Done

Being a Christian in a fast growing atheist world is hard and somewhat depressing. Very depressing but that's not the point. What it means to be a Christian it's actually to accept people as they are and allow God to work in their lives as He chooses instead of deciding we need our hand in it as well and taking credit for such things. Now, with that being said, it is hard being a Christian in a world where it's frowned upon. Its hard, not just because it is looked down on, is hard because instead of being encouraging in what someone believes, we discourage everyone unless we decide its good. I quite honestly believe that believing in God helps with a moral compass because he had laid everything out on the table, said everything that needed to be said without any secret meanings and basically said "this is the way that brings you closer to Me As well as all the possible happiness you desire. Yes you have to work for it, but you have to work at anything before you can continue forward." I'm absolutely paraphrasing and I'm not saying I follow each and every rule, because I don't. I've been having so many doubts lately. Mostly because I've had these experiences with people that I used to call closer friends that have, I feel abandoned me. The reason I trust God though id's because He is the only one I have felt around me, holding me when I'm down when I have people around me trying to basically hit me with a fly swatter as they tell me they can drop me at the blink of an eye as if nothing happened because there's no use dwelling on things like real relationships with people. I know people have gotten hurt and I stay vulnerable and loyal to the point I get hurt every time, but the outlook people have because they've decided they don't believe in God hurts me because it's one of the most depressing things I've heard. It hurts me because instead of the love that needs to be shared there is only great and hatred. When love and purity allows its face, it gets promptly kicked out and smothered as fast as possible. Christianity is a lot more than just a moral compass, it's love and the peace that everyone is yearning for but can't find. I'm not exactly here to show you the way, I can only attempt at the love that God is trying to show you. I don't come anywhere close to it, I fall down so many times when I attempt, but I will keep trying to just show this true and unconditional love that I have been given to show what God has shown me. Because he is the only one that has really and truly stood by my side and encouraged me even when I don't know how to praise or reach out to Him. I know nothing, I only try to learn by His example but I definitely have so much more to learn in my life.
