30 Days of Thanks: Day 1

Day 1

A lot of years ago, I thought that 

"being a Christian" was about

following rules,

walking down front during the 4th chorus of
"Just As I Am",

saying a prayer,

and not messing up too much.

Today,

I don't identify myself as a "Christian"

because of all of the presumptions placed on that word.

No,

I'm a Christ-Follower.

I give praise to the One 

who pulled me out of the darkness

where I thought I was living life

and brought me into His light

where I can thrive,

and grow, 

and really live out the
calling HE placed on my life

with real LOVE

and GRACE

and HOPE

and MERCY.

He thought I was worthy,
and he died for me,
and the very least I can do
is LIVE for HIM!

Day 1: I'm so thankful for Jesus and the honor it is to call myself a Christ-follower!
