In the gospels, Jesus was a people magnet. Sinners sought Him out and ENJOYED being in His presence. Jesus was real with non-believers and they responded to His genuineness. Christians should be the most authentic people around, but I hid behind the pretense that everything was ok, even though I was dying on the inside. I thought I had to...because I was a Christian. The Family of God isn't an empty title and church should not be where wehideour pain, but rather, where webringour pain. Sisterhood in Christ should mean something wonderful. We are called to Do Life together, to encourage and uplift one another. We are to be known by our love for one another. With so many hurting people in the world, it is time for Church of Jesus Christ to shine.
