I did not become a follower of Jesus Christ until a little later in my life. What seemed to keep me away was this fear of becoming religious. I had studied Jesus and found him to be like what I wanted to be. However, like His pre-resurrection disciples, most Christians did not live as if they really believed. Most seemed almost embarrassed about their beliefs. When I finally surrendered my fears to Jesus and decided to follow him when I was 30, I begged Him to never allow me to become religious. I just wanted to love others the way Jesus does…easier said than done. I did find that Jesus does offer us His heart in place of ours. The photo here was shot in Romania of a small Muslim street child. This photo has become an icon in my walk with Jesus Christ. She is a reminder to me that there are others who need God’s love and I have been commanded to deliver His love… John 13:34
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”
