Contrary to one-way street.

Almost ten years ago I was baptized in the waters. I remember very well and this experience is very important for me to remember it, it was from that moment I began to have a busy life with God.

When immersed in those waters, I felt lighter ... Like I was a true leaf. He could not say what I felt, I just know how to cry. And after much crying, I realized I wanted to cry for the rest of life. Ah ... How good was crying! I felt I was important to God and that He was important to me. So I started to pick it up relentlessly. I sang, prayed, fasted, danced in the presence of God ... That was when I first got interested about spiritual matters and realized how much I needed to keep it holy. A girl of 13 years, which until then was only interested in clothes and shoes and lived only linked to the circumstances, began to lose interest in these subjects and no longer look at the circumstances, but for the supernatural. Actually, I was walking in the opposite direction.

In fact, it began to bother people around me and also my friends. I remember I only approach people who had committed to God. Sometimes or another, I tried to go back to living with a group of teenagers from my church and sometimes wanted to be like them, walk and dress like them. But time passed and I realized that God wanted to use me as an instrument and from there I started to want to look more like Jesus. Often go wrong, errors teenager who lives worrying about what your group of friends going about their attitudes. But was I really was walking in the opposite direction. And I no longer accepted by most to be like before all I wanted (and many times, I confess, I tried to go back to being a carefree teenager with the things of God, for my change bothered by myself!).

Thus, after almost ten years, and long before I had realized that being Christian is to be a true revolutionary. First Jesus revolutionizes our interior and does so with a perfectly amazing! He then directs us to change the world through the transformation that was made on us. Being a Christian is to walk in the opposite direction all the time. It's being held against their wishes, be against the sin of the world ... Being a Christian confronts and often disturbing because our human nature is accustomed to comfort, not confrontation. Jesus is the truth. And the truth confronts the lies of this world. The truth is in us and therefore we are always in the opposite direction. Always. But this must be like for his name be glorified throughout the earth.

Proverbs 14:12: Is there a way that seems right to man but it ends in death.
