  "I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own."
John 10:14

We serve a powerful and righteous God. When I talk to people about Jesus Christ and the Bible, most of the time I ask them what's stopping them from coming closer to the Lord? There simple answer is, "Well when I read I don't quite understand what I am reading." Honestly when I hear those words it brings joy to my heart. It brings joy to my heart because I am reminded that God works through ALL OF US! He has placed people in our lives called, disciples. A disciple can be defined as someone who accepts and helps to spread the teachings of a higher order. haha! That just gives me chills because that's what I am doing. I love just reading the bible and breaking down the Lord's words. By no means to I tend to be a pastor but I do enjoy reading and inspiring others through the word of God. Through this verse, we learn that we learn of who our "own" are. "Our Own" can be defined as Christians. In John 10:14, no matter what we are going through and despite the people around us, God always will lead us towards the people of "our own" which are other Christ believers. We are all walking testimonies but it takes time to invest in that time of sharing our own stories. I stand to you today saying, God IS REAL! I am a firm believer and I love Him. I am just a young college student that is trying to make a difference. It's not about fame, popularity, making money or anything because if it was I would be pushing for everyone to buy a band.. I Just enjoy making people smile and be happy because we have such an amazing God and I want people to realize that,  whatever you are going through can change. If God was able to mold me into the man I am today, He can work and build mighty things in you as well. I'm not blessed, We ALL ARE!
