At the beginning of my Junior year at IWU it seems as though I continued to fall spiritually. Things are going great then I trip up and fall and then work to get back to the strength I was.
Through struggles, hardships, and temptations, I have learned that just because I am a Christian doesn't mean I am immune to what lies outside of the IWU "bubble" where I used to have a perspective that everything is "bad" and sinful. I know that is no longer true.
Also I used to be blind to the world around me. I used to view it as a perfect world where everyone is good and no harm or pain could come to me in the same way as a non Christian.
I was perfectly blind.
Because of a recent situation, I see the world from the outside. I know the pain, hurt, and ,temptation, of those who don't share the same faith I do. I want to reach out to them in their pain and love them for who they are, not how I think they should be.
I believe that is God's love showing through:
God loves humanity for who we are and not how we should be.
If He did, humanity would lose before they even had a chance.
I am definitely humanized.
That also humbles beyond anything I have experienced.
Every day offers new experiences for me to love people who may not be like me. And that is a beautiful thing.
Always <3
All for HIS glory
