Love is my Christianity.
Reaching out and hugging people, despite our differences, is my Christianity.
Caring about other people and their hearts is my Christianity.

I am a Christian.
I believe in Jesus.
Made to be just as we arebroken and beautiful.
I dont believe that He made any mistakes.
I am a Christian.

I believe in Jesus.
Because our Father loves us.
I am a Christian.
I believe in Jesus.
I have no right to press my personal values on anyone else.
I am a Christian.
I believe in Jesus.
I am a Christian.
I believe in Jesus.
And in this way, I will not judge others.
Because their faith and relationship with God are not my own.
I am a Christian.
I believe in Jesus.
And love is my religion.
Loving others as myself, loving others as my own, loving others as sisters and brothers in Christ.
Because that is what we areHis creationsHis flawed, complex, astounding, incredible, human creations.
So I will stand beside my best friend who fights for the right to marry her girlfriend.
I will speak out for the boy who is unsure of his sexuality and is bullied by his classmates.
We are Gods children, fearfully and wonderfully made.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
And why wouldnt I, as a Christian, want to take part in that?
What about my sexuality would say that Im better than them?
What good would come from condemning them for the way they live and love?
Because who am I to say that their choices are worse sins than the sins Ive committed?
Who am I to say that their preferences are even sins at all?
Who am I to even think I have the authority to comment on anyone elses version of Christianity?
Holding signs that say Repent.
Turn to Jesus or you will burn,and Ask me why you deserve hell isnotmy Christianity.
Protesting one of the happiest, most genuine festivals for LGBTQ individuals isnotmy Christianity.
Spewing anger and hate isnotmy Christianity.
But answer me this: Isnt all sin equal in Gods eyes?
Isnt all sin punishable by death?
Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God?
And that is what some of you were.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (NIV)
We are all sinners, but all washed clean and forgiven in Christ.
We are all sinners, but all made in His image.
We are all sinners, be we are loved, so deeply by our Father.
So let God be the judge of who is wrong or right.
In the meantime, I will keep loving my brothers and sisters as He loves me.
