I’m a Christian but…

2025/3/21 Edited to

... Read moreBeing a Christian often comes with challenges that can make one's faith journey complex. Many believers find themselves grappling with common struggles, such as addiction to substances like alcohol, the temptation to curse, and dealing with a quick temper. These experiences are not unique to any one person; rather, they are shared by many who strive to live a life aligned with their faith yet find themselves falling short at times. It's essential to acknowledge that making mistakes does not diminish one's faith, but rather highlights the importance of growth and reliance on God. In seeking help through prayer and community support, believers can tackle their personal battles. Engaging with scripture can offer guidance and inspiration, reminding individuals that God’s love is unwavering, even in moments of weakness. This journey of transformation is often slow but rewarding, as each day presents an opportunity to lean more deeply into faith and personal accountability. For those who identify with the struggles outlined, remember that faith is a journey and not a destination. Embrace the process, seek support, and continue to nurture your love for God. Every step taken towards betterment counts, and your faith can and will grow stronger over time.

The Bible tells us that if we focus on God's word, our minds will be renewed. Romans 12:1-2. I'd encourage you to download the YouVersion Bible app and read starting with the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in whatever version is easiest for you to understand. I like the NIV and ESV. Fall in love with those red letters. ❤️ It will even read it to you!

Here are some vulnerable things that we ALL struggle with! We are humans and we struggle with fleshly desires but we have to understand WHO God says we are in order to put to death the things he hates.🫶🏼 #christiangirl #christian #christianlifestyle #bible #biblejournaling #biblequote

A lot of us struggle with these but won’t admit it. Accepting that you are a sinner and a human be is accepted that you need Jesus. God loves you no matter what, start seeing yourself in His lens #christiangirl #godfollower #faith🙏🏽 #Lemon8Diary #blackgirl #saved #blessed #hellolemo

Im a Christian but
I won’t lie. I’ll be real and raw when it comes to my testimony. The beauty of pain and suffering is the growth and love of Jesus. A year of sobriety after self medicating the first year in loss. A year of ending repeated patterns that stem from a trauma that’s being healed through full surrender.

Absolute must-read books. Each one taught me something different! The Living Water: a young missionary is trapped overseas and must depend on God to get back home. The Girl Behind the Red Rope: a young girl doesn’t realize she is living in a cult until she encounters the true love of Christ

I have had a rocky relationship with my faith. I feel confident in my journey this time as it’s the first time I am pursuing Jesus for myself and not because someone I love was pursuing Him. I tend to offer myself more grace because I just started this journey, but I’m trying to break that mindset
