Most of the time I have a general idea of what I want to write and then when I start it fleshes out. Let me start...
Of late I have really being thinking about what I believe and why. Ok, you're probably thinking this is the normal Sarah stuff. But I want to go their because this internal pondering really fascinates me and perhaps you could share your thoughts too *if you haven't already. So I am currently living in a country where my religion (I like to think of it more as a relationship with Jesus) is a minority group. It's impossible to miss the temples, the festivals, the culture and so on.
In most religions people have to earn their salvation- visit Mecca, fast, pray, repent, do good works and so on. I really am not going to earn this blog post by listing it all.
Christianity differs. We don't earn God's love. We don't reach a level of goodness before we can enter into His presence. My church back home in SA is such a fantastic example of this- they love on the prostitutes, welcome in beggars, goths or anyone who enters. This is the example of Christ. He loved sinners. He pointed out the good in them when the world just saw a sinner...
May we be this kind of person.
May I be this kind of person.
These are my thoughts...
