what about you?

before i started my blog i had a friend ask me, kim how transparent are you going to allow yourself to really be? my answer was very.

if a person is a Christian,shouldn't Christ be the most important topic?and shouldn't your life be centered around Him?there are those who have suggested,that my thoughts are too much about Christ,and our relationship with Him.that is hard for me to believe.i don't think we talk about God enough.i believe we allow life's situations and conditions to become the central figure of our thinking & we miss out on the blessings that God has for us. is the topic of God and all that He has done for us a downer? to some it must be, but if so, why? why, would the subject of our hope, our heavenly Father, our creator of all of the wonders that we see, the one who sent His only son to die on Calvary's tree be a topic that would create negativity in a person, especially in a person who claims to know the Lord? this i do not nor ever will understand, how an individual can come to the place of feeling this way, have they fallen astray? are they truly born again, or just angry because situations have taken place in their life that has created a hardness so to speak towards the things of God, because most of what has taken place that aids in their feelings, took place within the church and in relation to other Christians. but, several things must be remembered. we all still live in a mortal body, we live in the flesh. since that is the case mistakes are going to be made. we will make them. others will make them, the bottom line is each and every one of us will fall on our faces and make mistakes. it's not in the falling because it is a given that we will all sin, it's in what you do after you fall. do you stay there? do you blame someone else? or do you brush yourself off, look to God for strength and press on? then there's the matter of forgiveness. not a lot really needs to be said about this, it's written very precisely in scripture that if we do not forgive others their transgressions and sins, God will not forgive us of our transgressions and sins. i don't believe it could be anymore direct then that. so, is it wrong to think about the things of God and want Him to be the central figure in our lives? i know what i believe, but, what about you? is it right to blame others for our shortcomings or when we fall? i know what i believe but, what about you? should we forgive others? i know what i believe but, what about you?
