What Love really is?

The moments where I stared at your shoes, they happened because I was ashamed, ashamed that I couldnt see eye to eye with you. I was blind to the ignorance in the church. The moments right now where I want to say, I am the same as you. I am not the girl you used to know whose church you thought hated yours. Some of that church does hate your church but they are not MY church. My church LOVES. I have always LOVED your church and I am a part of it. I am not part of a church that does not LOVE, my church is LOVE. Because GOD says, LOVE is PATIENT, LOVE is KIND, LOVE DOES NOT BOAST. LOVE DOES NOT SHOUT from the ROOFTOPS, I AM BETTER THAN YOU BECAUSE I HAVE MY RELIGION AND YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT ONE. It says, I LOVE YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS WORLD. Whether you be Mormon, Muslim or Jewish, Hindu or Buddhist. I realize that I believe in JESUS CHRIST, my LORD and REDEEMER. The MAKER of HEAVEN and EARTH. He who was CRUCIFIED for MY SINS. HE who taught me how to LOVE and how to RESPECT. So RESPECT others and you will be RESPECTED. LOVE others and you will be LOVED. So I wonder if I came to YOUR church and walked around in the shiny new shoes Ive stepped into would I be ACCEPTED and LOVED or would the OPPOSITE? Sidewalk I had a dream there was a sidewalk. I was walking on the sidewalk and there was a sign. A sign that said this sidewalk is only for Christians. Thats ridiculous, its like saying God is only for Christians but hes not hes for broken people, lost people, people with afflictions, and the afflicters. And his church isnt an ivy league its a hospital for the broken. Where people dont have to hide their sins and dont have to hide their failures. Where they are free from judgement. Where their father in Heaven has already redeemed them and made them whole. He loves them and will leave the whole flock for just one. He died for our failures and iniquities. He provides a path for the hurting and the wounded. So why does the church say, This sidewalk is only for Christians. Because its not. What Church Should Be It seems to me that CHURCH is a LIE. JESUS took in prostitutes and tax collectors, people who thought they COULD NEVER BE LOVED. So why is it that we cant stand up and say, I LOVE Mormons. It seems to me that the CHURCH has a DOUBLE one that says we LOVE you even though youve done awful things and we will forgive and GOD WILL ALWAYS TAKE YOU BACK. But when it comes out that youre a MORMON they TURN their back on you, they FORGET about you, and LEAVE you. WHAT happened to the GOOD SAMARITAN? I love the CHURCH, I do, but when you say one thing and do another that makes you a HYPOCRITE. A BACKSTABBER, a LIAR. I LOVE MORMONS ad I am not AFRAID to say it. I AM MORMON. I LOVED them when I was Evangelical Christian and I

LOVE them now. GOD LOVES THEM. And I hope the CHURCH WILL TO. Because LOVE SHOUTS I LOVE YOU FROM THE ROOFTOPS NOT I HATE YOU.
