Being a Christian

Some of the things that the Lord has been whispering to my heart is being like Him. We are called to be like Him. How can we know what He is like unless we read and study His word for ourselves? Sometimes I hesitate to call myself a “Christian” because I know that everybody has their own idea of what a “Christian is or isn’t”. Chances are good that I don’t fit that image. I don’t want to live my life bound to some “list of do’s and don’ts”

God is so unique in His creation, so why should we expect that “Christians” should be all the same?

I want to be known as a “follower of Christ”. Life and freedom is found in Him – not in some dead list.

The more I read of Jesus, the more I want to imitate Him - out of love, not obligation.
