Christian Up!

Job13: 5 If only you would be altogether silent!
For you, that would be wisdom.

Thats how I was feeling last nite at YG if any of you were wondering. I felt that I didnt know exactly what to say, and if I were to say what i wanted then it would cause problems. So i just stayed quite. But I also thought that some of you should have taken that advice.

Proverbs 3: 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;

6 in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.

I also felt this, and that instead of talking we needed to do THIS. That we can talk about the problems all we want but the only way they are going to get better is if we trust God with them and believe that if we give them to him he will make them better.

So I made this picture. I want to explain it in two parts. First of it to us humans. The cross is God inside us and being a christian. Now you can see white smoke trying to come from the cross but the color smoke is covering it. The red is our pain and suffering. When we are going through those times we often get hooked up on them and dont let God heal us or shine through. The green is our wickedness and evil. How we do things that hurt one another and are cruel. The yellow is our joy and happiness. Since when we are happy and everything is great we tend to forget that God helped us get there. And finaly the blue. The blue is whats in our heart and our connection with God. Sometimes those inner feelings can start to show if we are slipping away. All these things start to cover up God's love and showing the world that we are christians.

Then the second part to the picture is of it to Jesus. The red is obveously the blood and pain he shed for you. The green is the crown of thorns he wore and the wipings he took. The yellow is the light he brought to the world. And the blue is the holy spirit that lives in all of us now thanks to Jesus.

So that is my little rant for today, I have just been feeling that lately some of us havnt been the best of christians and it is deffently something that i am working on, showing people that I love God and doing good deeds.
