Radical


I've been called a “Radical Christian”, or “Jesus Freak”, some think all I do is serve God and never fail. They say I’m a good person. I listen to this and try to explain, but usually they don’t listen and think I’m trying to be modest. If only they could see my heart as God see’s it. He see’s every dark corner of my heart. Every bad thought, every attitude towards my parents, every lie, every gossip, every lust. He knows everything I do when no one is looking, every word out of my mouth towards someone, every joke I laugh at, every person I don’t stand up for, and every time I don’t stand up for Him. 
I hear them say, I’m doing good stuff for God, and you’re a “Radical Christian”, but they don’t see what God see’s. I fail. I’m a sinner. I don’t deserve to be called a “Radical Christian”.
God sent His Son to die for sinners. 1 Timothy 1:15b says, “…That Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” I'm SO thankful God loved a sinner like to enough to die for me. I will never understand how much love He has for us.
God has called me to serve Him. He died for me, God made manifest in the flesh, was nailed to a tree, the least I can do is live my life for Him.
 I want to hear God say to me, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.” 
God given me a burden for ministry that I’m not qualified for, that’s I’m not worthy of, and that I can’t do. But God does NOT call the qualified, He qualifies the called. His strength is made perfect in my weakness. 
I've been saved by grace through faith, and it’s not by any works that I have done. But though the perfect blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. It’s through Him, and ONLY Him, that I have eternal life. This life I will live for Him, I will fall, but God will be there to pick me up again.
