As Christians we are held to a very high standard...God's standard. We must always be on guard and always show the
LOVE of Christ to everyone. If you are a Christian and you say that you are a Christian, then I urge you to begin to live that out in your life...act like a Christian so that God will shine through you and through your daily actions so that the lost world around you will want to follow the same God that you claim to follow. This is a tough battle, but hey, God has already won it for us. I will be praying for you as you walk the Faith and I ask that you would pray for me as well. Christians, we need each other. We need to be Christ to each other, not tear one another down, but rather show
LOVE at all times and be there to lift up and get going again. Be Blessed
