Not Afraid Anymore

I'm not afraid anymore. I can talk about my faith now without the fear of being stoned at UMich. Initially I was scared because there is so much verbal hate conversation about Christians/Catholics who would put perameters around behavior. What is law? What is morality? "The church can't dictate my morality!!!"

I was afraid, because I thought if I spoke truth I would be shunned. The process of going through persecution has somehow transformed my fear into a tool. It's like that verse, "In our weakness He is made strong." I feel a change in my faith, over the last few weeks. I'm not afraid to let someone hear me talking about Christ, and yet I know I have so much room for change. I pray that He will continue to make me unashamed of His Gospel. My faith is a work in progress that is for sure. I hope that somehow the Lord will use my experiences here for his purpose.

People still hate Religion. They always will. In policy conversations there are many who curse Christianity.
They defy rules and laws, which restrict behavior in which they want to participate.

Lord why do we reject you? Why do we want freedom from your laws, which protect us? Why do your own people distort your Word? God change our hearts, help us to live and teach Your Word with love and humility, so that we do not, in our sin, turn people away from You. God draw your people to love without pretense of getting people to follow. Help us not to have checkboxes beside the names of our friends who do not you. Let our quest to love not be an effort to convert poeple, but simply to love them as you do. Let Your love lead and guide our love for others.
