…Porn Stars
This is one of the slogans of xxxChurch, the organization that I am partnering with to go to Vancouver to be part of a convention where I’ll be able to put this into practice. (Here’s the link you can find out more/support me) The people who I’ll be interacting with, may have only ever had negative/condemning experiences with Christians. I really pray that I’d be able to be different than that. In my interactions, I hope they see that I am just as broken but have surrendered my life fully to Jesus and love Him and His people. That they’d see the Jesus living in me.
xxxChurch founder Craig Gross says, “I believe Jesus would be at the shows with us. He’d be mixing it up with these people. ‘Cause he doesn’t look at them as porn stars, or porn producers. He looks at us as all the same.”
This is why I want to go. I want to look at people in the eye and see them for what they are. Sons and Daughters of God. I hope that all of us, through our daily lives, would look at people through this perspective, the eyes of heaven, and see people in this light. I believe that we’d be able to interact with them and show them love like never before. We’d be able to see Jesus transform lives, not through our words or anything we’d have to say, but the fact that we are present. Loving people.
I want the world to know that in spite of the effed up human being I am, Jesus keeps giving me a second chance. I am a living breathing example of the 2nd chance (and the 3rd, and the 4th… oh.. and the 9543th too) So instead of labeling anyone as some stupid, lazy, porn watching, lying, cheating, self righteous, loud mouthed person and kicking them to the curb, I have decided to look in the mirror. I see myself, where I came from, and what Jesus has transformed me into, even though I am constantly screwing up to this day (so much)
He doesn’t give up.
He doesn’t let go.
His love NEVER runs out on me.
This is the kind of love I’ve experienced and the kind of person I want to be around others.
