I have a diverse group of friends with different religious beliefs, backgrounds, and ideologies. My faith is a significant part of my life. Though I have strayed from my faith at times, I have grown to realize in my later years that prioritizing faith and gratitude has brought me peace, comfort, and the freedom to do what's right without being influenced by others. Some may argue that having faith is pointless when members of the same faith condemn my choices regarding who I love. But, I believe that faith is not just a set of rules but a relationship with Jesus Christ and meditating in his word. It is through this relationship, that I have accepted myself as I am and believe that Jesus accepts me and loves me unconditionally, as I am. I don't feel the need to apologize for my relationship with my faith, or who I am and who I love. Whether my friends be Christian, Atheist, Muslim, LGBT, or whatever. I do not force my beliefs on anyone. But what I hope your see is that my faith brings me joy and encourages me to live a life in love. And it is through this walk of faith, I hope that my testimony inspires others to see the internal joy that faith has given me. Jesus' message of love remains clear and relevant to this day, offering me guidance and hope amidst a sea of challenges where I believe that following this path is the best way to live despite people's judgment of who I am and who I feel God has destined me to love.
Love is love…
