As appearing on myspace

I wrote this on myspace as a way to share with my numerous not saved friends on there, but I thought it would work here too as my post of the day...

---------Begin Myspace Copying--------------

I don’t know how many people are friends with Jesus (on myspace) his myspace is :

For Easter "Jesus" blogged and here is just an excerpt from his blog...

"And then after the emotional pain of being let down by my closest friends, I was beaten for hours and made to carry that cross, your cross. It wasn’t fun, and I didn’t enjoy it, but I did it willingly, because I love you. I don’t think everyone reading this really gets that part. I truly and sincerely love you, each and every one of you. I gave myself up that night because I love you so much."

Then he goes on to challenge everyone to share their faith and how Jesus changed their lives with those that don’t know him.


So...Here I am.

I was always the outcast. Not even just at school. My family loved me, but as the sole child amongst adults I always felt out of place. I had few friends and none that didn’t want something from me. I felt condemned to be the outcast for my entire life.

One day I went to camp, I was 15 at the time. There someone told me that someone loved me enough to die for me, and that they loved me just they way I was, I didn’t need to change in order to recieve that love. I wanted to be loved SOOOO badly. So I decided that day to ask for that love to be mine.

I have been a different person since that day.

Not because I did anything more complicated than to let myself be loved by someone who already loved me. But it is a brave step to allow yourself to be loved, because when you are loved, you learn to love in return, and that requires you to be vulnerable and allow the possibility that you will be a different person.

That was 12 years ago, and while I’ll be the first to tell you that you will hit bumps walking this road of love, and you may even fall down and hurt yourself, but there is always one there who will help you up, hold you while you cry, and guide you on this journey of life.


-------End Myspace Post----------


I was looking back at some of the posts on myspace and livejournal from years back and I realized that no matter what the actual blogs appear to say, I am a different person now than I was then. And it is a good thing, it has been hecka hard and not so fun at times, but "I can say that I've been changed for the better" (yay Wicked) and it is all because of Jesus.
