Christ

            Going to school Monday thru Friday and having fun with your friends on the weekend is something every teenager does, but it can be a troubling situation when you are a Christian? Most teenagers find it very difficult to be accepted by their peers once they find out that they attend church.
             I feel that just because you have faith in God and know that he is the reason that you breath, is no reason for you to be ashamed that you"re a Christian. I don't expect for teens to walk around carrying a Bible and preaching to everyone about being Christ-like, but there are some that feel that it is there duty as a Christian to let people know about God .To me it means that I have the love of God in my heart and that I am willing to share that with anyone I meet. By being a Christian it is embedded in me to help others whether it is by way of listening to their problems, helping them with their homework, or relationship issues. A person can let others know about God in different ways besides an in-depth conversation on believing and trusting in the Lord. The main issue is the fact that their friends may not accept them. I feel that if you can't talk about the way you feel about the Lord and Savior or show by ways and actions, they may not be true friends and are not understanding of your love for him.
             By teens being open about their Christianity and have come to know the word of the Lord, they may feel that they can't have fun or go out with their friends because they are not acting in a Christ-like manner. I feel that you could spread the word in all types of ways, whether it is in dance, music, art, or just having fun. Christianity is not meant to make your pleasures less but allows you enjoy life more abundantly through his grace. .
             Out of the little I have said, I hope that there will be at least one teenager that will be willing to open up to a friend to proclaim their love to the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
