through his grace, love, and mercy

Today, I woke up being able to proudly call myself a Christian. There was a lot of struggle between what I know and what I feel. But although the list for logical reasoning is never ending, none of it can explain this overwhelming blessing emotion that warms my heart. It's inexplicable, but it's there.

Christ works miracles in people's lives. When my friend Daniel accepted Christ, he was transformed instantly. The core of him is still there, but he is more refined. I remember asking him, 'why the sudden change? don't you miss smoking and hanging out w/your old friends?"
he replied, 'i miss them, but honestly i want God more. When you want Him, you want to change, you want to do it for Him.'

I've always considered myself to be a Christian. I knew what it meant to be a Christian, but personally I never knew. So I gave myself a title of a struggling Christian. Now i know there is no such thing. You are either with Him, or you're not. There are no compromises.-If you compromise yourself with the world and God, then you're not with Him, you're here. It's easy to fall into what the world is today- greedy, lustful, and vain. But you enter the world with nothing, and you leave with nothing.

So.. with my finals fast approaching..
Lord, I want more of you & less of me.

there are no such thing as coincidences.
