You are about to enter into a deep chamber of my heart. There are many chambers in my heart and this one cuts to the core of who I am. It's what makes me...me. Know what it is? Well, if you read the title, you got it. It's a thing I like to call faith. Not religion, just faith. Where I stand spiritually.
If you so desire to give me a label, call me a Christian. A reflection of Christ, yes, Christ Himself, no. I am not perfect therefor I do not strive for it. I believe that is a common misconception for Christians. We come off like we're supposed to be perfect; like being a Christ follower and ultimately a reflection of Christ, we're supposed to be perfect like Christ. Such a common misconception I know. We're pretty dang good at putting out that stereotype. (and yes I say we...I am in fact a Christian...well...sort of...)
I was thinking about my death in class one day. No, not suicide, my death. How I'll die, what it's gonna feel like, where I'll end up...yeah..my death. You know, I used to say that if I died and found out that Heaven isn't real, that God's not there, all this Jesus stuff is folk-lore...that that'd be ok. I'd have nothing to lose. What a load of crap. I have everything to lose. Why? Because my faith is everything I am. It makes up the core of my being, it's who I am. Ready to dive deeper? Hold on tight cause this road's about to get rough.
My religion is Christianity and my faith lies with Jesus Christ. I have faith that He's who the Bible says He was/is; my Savior. So when I die....if i have any consciousness whatsoever...and i found out somehow that everything i've lived for, what i'd die for is a lie...i'd be devastated. I lived and died a lie.
But on the other hand...when i die..if i find out that everything is truth...well...i'm sure you can only imagine.
sinncerely yours,
Laura T.
