Nowadays, if you are a Christian, you are more than likely getting judged from afar. News articles, YouTube videos, and Facebook posts are made to show people's lack of approval of your beliefs. I feel it is important for me to apologize for a few things especially after the tragedies that have happened worldwide.

I am sorry that I love Gay people. I want to be more like God. God was always the one who would hang around those who sin. He chose to be around sinners. Do I judge you for who you are? No, sir, I do not. I look at the Bible as a lesson, and God is my teacher. Let me share something with you that I try to live my everyday life around. Matthew 7- “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” I will not condemn, and I will not condone, but I sure will love. I will be their friend. I will be their best friend. I will be their sister, and I will be their mother if my child one day decides this and I will love them regardless because that is what God does. I am living my life to be more like him.

I am sorry that I will never look down on you. I do not care about your race, gender, or beliefs. However, I do care if you are kind. The only time I ever actually have a problem with anyone is when they are rude to people around them. Being kind is a free gesture, and anyone can give that to someone. Give someone who looks down a hug, smile at a stranger, and tell the people around you that they are loved. Simple things lead to greater things, and I must say, I thank God for teaching me to love.

I am sorry that I mess up too. So many people believe that Christians have to be perfect, and I am here to tell you I am the complete opposite. I sin every day. I cuss here and there. We are not too different. One sin is not different than another sin. Bear with me if you see me mess up. Don't categorize all Christians under my own mistake. It is hard being a Christian sometimes. I get judged by people around me because they think I don’t mess up. I do. I probably mess up more than you, and that is okay. I’m okay with messing up because I am promised Gods amazing grace. You are promised that too even if you don’t believe it.

I am sorry that I love you. I love you whether you love me or not. I love you even if you decide to hurt me. I love you regardless of your beliefs. I love you because that is all I have room for. Experience Gods love, and it becomes a domino effect.

I am sorry that there are Christians out there who are lost, please be patient with them. This is a huge one for today’s world. There are still people out there who do believe in God but choose not to live out their life like it. There are going to be Christians who do not show you love. There will be Christians who go to church Sunday and forget about the word Monday. They are not bad people, and you are not a bad person either. Have patience. Some Christians have to go through a "wild stage". Just like some children have to experience the world on their own, there will be Christians who has to experience the world to find out they aren't missing anything.

I am sorry that I boast about God so much, but I cannot stop. I am happier than ever. I smile more every day. I am not even scared of death because I know that heaven is much greater than the hate on earth.

If you will, please accept my apology and remember that I mess up too. I am just an everyday sinner who loves God.
