Five Ways Jesus Makes Us Better People
Mariam Kesto

It is impossible for a Christian person to imagine life without Jesus in it. Christians live by example, and that is Jesus. As a Christian, you want to do everything right and feel the desire to please God with all that you do and think about. Personally, I do not know what I would do without my belief in Jesus. There are an infinite ways Jesus makes us better people but here are the ways I find most important.

1. With Jesus, we are wiser

Jesus was always wise and he always made the right choices because He is God and perfect in every way. As Christians, we tend to follow Him and therefore, we are wiser. We are so careful with everything we do because we don’t want to let anyone down, especially Jesus. We avoid being unethical as much as we can and we aim on being fair and nice to everyone around us.

2. With Jesus, we are caring for the people around us

Jesus wants everyone to love one another. He said “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.” His love is so great and we are more caring for the people around us because of Him. We tend to forgive and move on and we let go of the evil that we might have inside of us with Jesus. We don’t let ourselves hate anyone because we know that’s not what Jesus wants, on the contrary, He wants us to care about everyone no matter how good or bad they treat us.

3. With Jesus, we sin less

Although sin is a sin, Jesus does help us sin less. We know, through our faith, that sinning is going to hell. So, we want to avoid sinning as much as we can and we pray and repent when we do sin. A sin can erupt a person’s life and I feel like Jesus is with us to protect us from any eruption.

4. With Jesus, we love and appreciate life

Jesus came to the world for us, to save us from sin and to remind us that this life is not the only life we will have. Due to this fact, we love and appreciate this life and we look forward for the next life. Jesus always teaches us to feel blessed and we always feel Him around us guiding us through every step as we grow older.

5. With Jesus, we are reborn every Christmas

Christmas is the birth of Jesus and our birth. On Christmas, we are reminded that we are so loved by God that He sent us his only Son to save us. Every Christmas, we feel blessed and we come to realize more and more that God wants us to be doing good things and to always turn to him no matter what we go through.

With Jesus, everything is better. I Love Jesus and I would not be who I am if I didn’t have Him. He is the light of my life and He makes me the best person I can be.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
