Welcome to my blog!
I get insecure about my walk with God’s sometimes. Everyone’s looks different, but is mine significant? I would look around, see how sometimes people would draw in their Bibles, color entire pages, and some swore by a certain version, telling me I was wrong if it wasn’t the King James. I didn’t know what to think, how could following Jesus be so uniting, like it was meant to be, but also tear others apart? The answer is opinion. It is someone’s opinions that you should only read the King James Version. It is my opinion that you shouldn’t draw in your Bible. It is someone else’s opinion that you cannot please God without doing everything perfectly. It is someone’s else’s opinion that... okay, you get my point. Opinions getting in the way is what creates religion. Following Jesus means to have a relationship with God, and live your life the way He did before His death and resurrection. Serving, thinking of others before yourself, letting God keep you humble, and loving people right where they are at, amongst other things... Religion is when it becomes, “You need to pray to God 5 times a day, or He’s not gonna care about you.” Lie! The Truth is, God will always care about you, and everything you do.( though don't be scared to pray often!) He cares about what you say, and how your walk with Him is going. A walk with God does not look like everyone else's. I don’t like to draw in my Bible, my friend does. That’s okay. I have another friend that swears only by the KJV. I don’t, I like my NIV, or the ESV, or the ASV, doesn’t matter to me, they’re all the Bible. Now The Message Bible... I’m kidding. Basic thing is, our walk with God is going to be different than everyone else’s, no walk is going to be the same. So don’t feel insecure if your friend does one thing, maybe she talks to God out loud and you like to write, that’s okay. Don’t care about what others think: your walk with God is just that, with God. Focus on pleasing Him, loving Him and then others, and just doing your best. Read your Bible, keep your heart open to His requests, and serve Him with your everything. God loves you, is for you, and looks forward to relationship with you. So stop comparing, and start talking to Goddie. He is for you!

Melody C.God has given me the natural talent as a writer. I felt Him encourage me in the direction of using my natural skill in writing for Him, instead of investing in skills that were basically going to waste. I have been writing my whole life. I love to answer questions, give advice, and share experiences. I hope you enjoy it, and I pray that God speaks through me and to you. If there are ever any typos, please ignore them. They will be fixed as soon as I notice them. Archives
