Christs Image

I have a friend who is going through a hard time her brother disagrees with a choice she has made and has basically in a way decided to disown her. He is a Christian. You know as a Christian one of the most important things I have found that I should recognize about myself is that I am a sinner without Christ but with Christ I am freed from my sin because he died on the cross for me. Be consious that I sin and I still am a work in progress helps me to live more in Christs Image each day. I am reminded on the many times that Christ poured his love upon those who were cast out because of things they have done. It is easy to say someone who drinks consistantly is an alcholic or someone who is addicted to a substance an addict, or someone who sells their body a prostitute but by doing so we are lableing them just that rather than thinking of them as someone who God created from the amount of hairs on their head to the color of their eyes, to the size of their feet. They were made is his image. We were all made in Christs image its what we decide to do with it. But please challenge yourselves to live in Christ's Image, to show mercy, and love to those who are struggling. There is never going to be a time when you do something that Christ will turn his back upon you, and say "Now you have do it". I beleive he says "There is nothing you could do that could make me love you less".
