Epiphany part 1
My Christianity looks like this: I want to be happy and I want to stop sucking at things (a.k.a. sin); and Scripture, good teaching, and life experience has taught me that Jesus is the only way I can achieve those things.
Some of my favorite verses are Psalm 34:8, and 2 Corinthians 3:18 because they tell me how to get what I want: happiness and self-improvement. I want others to be happy and to have hope that they can change so I actively want others to know Him. So my life looks pretty godly b/c I'm pursuing Jesus and sharing the Gospel often.
Even though all this is true, Jesus has now become a means to an end. He is not the goal, but the instrument used to achieve it.
