interesting..?
I may not physically look like a Christian, but, God does not look at the physical features, now does He?
Do not judge me only on how I dress, truely get to know me, get to know my heart and the desires of it, and then decide who you think I am!
"I am a Christian & goth, but my parents & non goth friends do not understand and hassle me about it, any suggestions?"
It's very possible to be able to express your uniqueness, and gain the understanding of your parents & friends, and to love and serve God at the same time.
You probably know, God doesn't care much about our outward appearance but He does care about the contents of our heart. He created your uniqueness and He is not interested in destroying it or your personality but to use it for His glory and purpose. But God's desire for you and me is to become more Christ-like which requires discipline and our cooperation with God..... renewing of our mind (the study of God's Word) and allowing Him to transform our character into His. And it takes a lifetime. Every choice we make and every response to life's circumstances determines our destiny. God has a great plan for each one of us and we must make that our priority.... find it and pursue it. But first, go find out who Jesus is! Don't sweat the small stuff, try to keep focus on the big picture of life. We exist for Him not for us. Try to be the best Christian you can possibly be with His strength...and perhaps folks will notice the Jesus in you and ignore the goth they see on you.
That is a question that was asked on a website that i have just recently started reading. The website is www.christiangoth.com , it is a very interesting site and it would be worth reading some of the things on some of the pages, even if you are not a "goth" maybe you are just a "regular" christian, or maybe you are neither and you are just curious. Eather way i hope you would go to this site and read some of it.. there is other things there too like poetry and art. I pray that some thing you read would speak to you.
God Bless <3
