Being in Christ means always striving to be better for God. I want God to be proud of me. I want Him to be happy with me.

Im always so convicted when I hear my Pastor speak. He is ALWAYS talking to me. I always have things I need to work on and right now its loving people. He said that if we have not become a more loving person since coming to Christ, then we dont know Christ.

I dont love everybody. I dont hate anyone, but I dont love everybody. Ever meet those Christians who are just so open and friendly? They love you without being pushy. Their eyes say they love you. They dont smother you with scriptures, they just love you with a hug and a helping hand whenever you ask for it. I have a friend like that. Her name is Mireille. I call her Mimi. I couldnt even begin to write about how Mimi has impacted my life.

She led me to Christ. She held my hand while I was learning. She helped me to hold on until I got joined to the church that God had for me. I am forever grateful. I hope that one day I can love someone like Mimi loved me. I’m not there yet. I have a long way to go.

But you know what? I see my problem and Im willing to work on it.
