Relationship vs Religion

One Sunday afternoon I went to church and I was introduced to relationship not religion. I realized that it shouldn't be about religion, it should be about your relationship with God. Before that Sunday, I always told myself that I was Christian and to be honest I totally went against Catholics, not the people, but the religion. I totally know now that it shouldn't be about religion. I learned that I can't label people. I thought that if you read your bible and went to church, you were set. Now I know that there's more than that. It should be about if your a follower of God, if you have faith and if you are a believer. Your relationship with Him should be greater than the religion labeled on you. I learned that it's about spreading His name and to let go of everything to give to Him. I call myself a Christian because I gave myself up to Him, because I have faith in Him and I believe but being called a Christian doesn't mean a lot to me, having the relationship with Him is what means more to me.

I've grown so much. I love doing devos when I can; I love youth group and worship. I still have a long way to go, but I'm sure matured and even more educated. I'm only 15. I'm not always right and I make mistakes, but this is my opinion.
