Christianity

"Imagine a tiny ant. Now, what does that ant know about you or your life? Nothing, it's basically impossible. Now think of yourself, a tiny human. What can YOU as this tiny human know about this 'God'. Think, the difference and size in knowledge of a human to an ant is about arms length, but the difference between you and 'God' is from what, here (FL) to California?"

This is the series of questions, that are making me think over EVERYTHING. No this is not me questioning my beliefs as a Christian, and no this is not about me getting ready to bash people who aren't Christians. This entry is about me defending my faith. This entry is to prove a point about my faith. This entry is to stand up for my God who is good in every way.

He created us in His imagine, therefore I believe that there is something within us, that allows us to relate to Him. I don't think that my God is a sadistic God who would just put humans on this big rock to play with them. I don't believe that we are His little play toys. I believe that he sent His only son, Jesus Christ to die for me, and for you. I KNOW that He shows His love for me not only through the death and resurrection of His son, but through His word. And through His word, He reveals Himself. Unlike the ant, we, as humans are capable of knowledge, thinking, and reasoning. Unlike the ant, we have His word to read. Unlike the ant, we have prayer so that we may talk to our Father. So no, I do not picture myself as an ant looking up to a human. I picture myself as a beautiful child of a loving, caring, powerful, God. And no, I do not think that my human brain could ever wrap around Him or His love and plans for us. But that's okay, because I don't have to know the specifics of Him. Just to know His love is enough for me.

As a Christian, it is a constant battle. A battle against the enemy, other people, and even sometimes myself. As a child of the Lord, I look to His word for strength and the will to deal with my oppressors. In His word, He tells us;

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

So suit up, get the amour of the Lord. Stand firm and steadfast in His power. Don't let oppressors bring you down. Pray for an open, understanding heart.

SOLDIER UP!
