Challenge Yourself

Do you like a challenge?

I get tired of seeing people play at being a Christian. To be a true Christian, one must love others. I really like talking with people who aren't afraid to speak out of a heart filled with love. And I don't mind being scolded by a true Christian. When a true Christian scolds, in my opinion, it's almost like a kiss on the cheek.

There are moments when a true Christian fears he'll be labeled as a Weirdo. No one wants others to think they're strange. Many Christians fall into their neighborhood's normal "code of conduct". No praying in public unless there's a crisis. But what if you took the risk and prayed in the grocery store for people God led you to? Others might welcome the care and concern of a prayer drenched in love.

The next time you feel God has led you to someone who needs prayer, let them know you're a true Christian. They'll know we are Christians by our love.
