To my knowledge No one has ever said being a Christian would be easy

<p style="text-align:center;">To my knowledge No one has ever said being a Christian would be easy</p> <p style="text-align:center;"></p> <p>As a child of God, we must do our best to walk in a straight path. One of faith, love, grace, mercy, and truth. When I speak of faith we must trust and believe that God is working things out if we do not see it. By Faith We Understand Hebrews 11:1Now faith is the [a]substance of things hoped for, the [b]evidence of things not seen.</p> <p>And on love we must love one another as Christ has loved us that does not mean that we must agree with their actions: 1 John 2:15-17 New King James Version Do Not Love the World 15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. Meaning Therefore, do not love the world is an exhortation inspired by God and it tells Christians that: They should not be followers, fans, or supporters of carnal, sin-glorifying things, ideas, beliefs, etc. They should not endorse or follow those things that do not give glory to God.</p> <p>We must show grace even when we know we are being lied to, none of us is always perfectly honest.</p> <p>Because of our fallen nature, we will struggle against this tendency throughout our entire lives.   Ephesians 2:8-9 New King James Version 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.</p> <p>We must have and show mercy Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16 Psalms 51:1 NKJV</p> <p>Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions</p
