well i value relationship over religion. you can call yourself a christian and go to church every sunday and have no connection to God. what matters more is your relationship with god monday-saturday. anyways i call myself a christian. for most of my life i was catholic and two years ago i started attending a christian church instead. i dont follow any denomination of christianity 100%. im still searching for what i call my "perfect religion" which is basically the closest form of christianity i can find to fit my beliefs on God, life, and the afterlife.

well to answer the actual question my relationship with Christ brings a lot to my life. today was one of those days for me where i just sat back and marveled at how wonderful He is. if you met me you'd probably have no idea how much I love Christ. im not one of those people that attend youth groups and retreats... i dont even go to church every sunday but i love God and my relationship with Him is strong. i pray and talk to God everyday. you'd be amazed at how powerful prayer really is if you give it a try. "ask and you will recieve and your joy will be complete". those words couldn't be any truer. and at first it may seem like your prayer wasn't answered but trust however God chose to deal with whatever problem you were facing is better than w/e suggestion you had and sometimes something that seems like a bad thing can be a blessing in disguise. i've been through a lot of shit in my life and without my faith in Christ and his love for me i wouldn't be here today because there were times where i felt like i had no one... except Him because he's the one part of my life i can always count on to be there. knowing that God loves me and all he has done for me also inspires me to be a better person. i feel like i owe him. i mean he gave up his life for me (and you) and so it seems foolish of me to just throw away the life he gave me and waste it. i dont want to leave this world and have Christ think he died on the cross for nothing.
