Looking for the Beginning

This is the beginning. The world isn’t what I thought it was. Jesus isn’t what I thought He was. The rules aren’t the rules. I’m 58 years old, and I think I’ve been deceived for a long time!

I have discovered that I have been using Christianity to justify things that are the exact opposite of what Jesus actually said! I mean, did He or did He not say “love your enemies,” and “pray for those who deceitfully use you.?”

He didn’t just say to love enemies who live an ocean away and never bother me. He didn’t qualify it.

And, why would I think I shouldn’t have to suffer in life, when he said I probably would?

It’s all backwards. We focus on making our lives comfortable — ourselves and our families — all in the name of virtuous duty. It’s as though we equate financial success for successful life in Christ.

Could anything be more opposite of what we see in our Lord?

So, I want my vision to be changed. I want my blindness to be healed. I want to really see.
