Apostles’ Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth, பரலோகத்தையும் பூலோகத்தையும் படைத்த எல்லாம் வல்ல பிதாவாகிய சர்வேசுரனை விசுவசிக்கிறேன். and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, அவருடைய ஏக சுதனாகிய நம்முடைய நாதர் இயேசு கிறிஸ்துவையும் விசுவசிக்கிறேன்.who was  conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, இவர் பரிசுத்த ஆவியினால் கர்ப்பமாய் உற்பவித்து அர்ச்சிஷ்ட கன்னிமரியாயிடமிருந்து பிறந்தார். suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. போஞ்சு பிலாத்தின் அதிகாரத்தில் பாடுபட்டு, சிலுவையில் அறையுண்டு, மரித்து அடக்கம் செய்யப்பட்டார்.

Sacrifice vs Choice: My Journey with Jesus

When I first started seriously thinking about becoming a disciple of Jesus, I’ll be honest I braced myself for the sacrifices . I thought following Him meant giving up a lot of things I loved, or at least things that felt really important to me at the time. You know that feeling when someone tells you, “It’s going to be hard, but it’s worth it”? That’s kind of what I expected. Like I’d be constantly battling my desires, trying to be “holy enough,” and saying painful goodbyes to people, habits, or parts of myself. But here’s what actually happened: once I made the change... it didn’t feel like sacrifice at all. Sounds weird, right?

A bit of praise comes along, the sails fill, and I'm soaring! "Oh, they noticed ! They approved ! I must be doing something right!" Cue the happy dance, maybe a little internal pat on the back. Then comes the blame. Wham! A rogue wave hits. The little sailboat is tossed about, taking on water. Doubt creeps in. "Am I really that bad? Di...
