"Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect."

Romans 12:2

This is the verse that hangs on my bedroom door. I hadn't really looked at in a while, until about five minutes ago. It sums up how I feel about religion, and my relationship with God. I decide how to serve my god, how to rethank him for all he's given me. No one can judge me for what I've done and how I've lived but God him (or her)self.

Sure, I've messed up along the way and made several mistakes, but I deemed them as mistakes, misteps. I know what I've done and I've learned. I believe without a doubt that I have a God that will love me no matter what. So some people don't understand, it's called faith. I can't explain it, no one can.. it's one of those feelings you can't shake.

You just have to believe because it just feels right. Someone has given me everything I have and blessed me with so much. My family, my friends, love, music, the list goes on. And if this God loves me as much as I believe he does than he will love me no matter what I do, how I live. So I will live how I choose, how I see is best fit to serve his will, my 'purpose' in life perhaps.

I decide what is 'good, pleasing, and perfect'. And for right now that's doing whatever I want but always, always remembering what I have to be thankful for, and who to thank. No one should tell you how to live your life but you.

Sometimes if you take out the word God and you interpret perfect as whatever perfect is to you, the Bible has some good advice :) I just happen to keep the word God in because that's what I believe. And another thing I believe?

Everyone has the right to believe in whatever they want, and I will never have the right to judge/tell how someone else lives their life.. and I like it that way.
