Christians Who Have Helped/Are Helping You
Posted: Sat Nov 28, 2015 7:40 pm
We all hear about the closed-minded Christians, the Christians who persecute and shun us Witches, who refuse to learn the truth about us, who call us devil worshippers, etc., etc. But there are two sides to every coin. We sometimes forget that there are now many Christians out there that are perfectly willing to accept and love us, that are happy and eager to talk religion with us without conflict, that are even sometimes needed to help us along our spiritual path.
The most obvious answer in my life, especially as far as spirituality goes, is my Yonah. She is one of my closest-circle of friends, my sister-in-all-but-blood, and I love her to pieces. Yonah is quite Christian, but she is also extremely open-minded - she has said to me more than once, and I quote, "It's not fair for me to say your beliefs aren't right and mine are." She was the one who found me crying in the bathroom, scared - and scared that I was so scared - over a snapfest that had turned to magick and the Craft at some point. She was the one that made me realize just how deep my fear of being rejected for my Craft goes, and she was the one who first helped me start to heal it. She is still helping me heal it, by discussing religion and spirituality and the differences and similarities of our beliefs.
Another quick answer is Flame. Despite being the local PK (Pastor's Kid), she's been, well, a godsend. Even though our interests are starting to change and we are beginning to talk less and less as we're drawn to different friend groups, she's still my sister-in-all-but-blood, I still love her, and I would still take a bullet for her in a heartbeat. She's been there for me for as long as I've known her, and vice versa - and I don't intend for that to change.
What about you guys? Has there been a Christian in your life who's helped you, who's been open-minded and interested in your path? Is there one such Christian in your life now? Share your stories; I'd love to hear them.
Sometimes we all need a reminder that nothing is ever all bad.
