Where?!?

Hey Fam!
I know I haven't written in a while....just alot has been going on.  I start working Monday and have been trying to get ready for that!  Plus all of the other issues of my life have just been weighing me down.  Keep me and my family in your prayers!  Lord Have Mercy....

I've been wondering where we get our views on what's worldly and what's not. How do you know by what someone is wearing or doing if they're saved? Too often we make mistakes and get tagged as an individual who is a bad person and we couldn't have any Christ in us because if we did, we wouldn't act like fools....well, I beg to differ. See, we're humans. And just because we've proclaimed Jesus as our personal savior, does not make us exempt from being tempted or falling into a trap. When will we Christians realize that the only perfect one among us was Jesus? I've been told that I'm not saved because I wear pants, braids, or even that natural curls make me look worldly....I'm not finding any sense in any of those comments because my Bible reads that as long as I confess with my mouth that Jesus died on the cross and rose on the third day, and that He is Lord, that I shall be saved. I never understood how my material possessions determine my salvation. If anything, I could say that we try to be more like the world when we give in to society's views of what's acceptable and say that we aren't trying to stand apart when we adapt to those views. But that is not my motivation. I just want to make sure I live right and treat people right. And also, if salvation is something that could be lost, there would be no purpose in being a Christian because no one would make it into Heaven. We have something to strive for; we'll never be perfect EVER!! It is impossible to lose your salvation. Just like any relationship, you can bruise a spirit or misuse trust, but my God's love is unconditional. He's the only man that I know that doesn't have any conditions on his love. My spirit should be what you see that makes you say..."She really is a child of God!" For my Bible also says to let my light so shine that men shall see my good works. So yes, I wear my earrings, my pants, my braids, my natural locs, and occasionally a little makeup. Those things don't make me who I am....they are materials. I know that my heart and my mind are focused on Jesus and making it into Heaven when I leave here. Let us readjust our focus Christians! Stop dwelling on the things of the world. Correct when necessary and don't be offensive to your brother and love them in spite of!

Much Love and Peace,

Kisha
