Justin Bieber Proclaims Christian Faith

Justin Bieber has struggled with transitioning from a teen to a young adult in the public eye. Now, as an independent artist with a mature and renewed perspective, he has transformed his previous outlook and developed a new focus.

Bieber rose to fame quickly from an untrained YouTube singer to teen idol. Within months of posting his videos to YouTube, Bieber became an Internet sensation and gained many fans. He was flown to Atlanta by an eager manager and had the opportunity to meet Usher, who later signed him to a contract. The teen singer was instantly a huge success and received positive feedback as well as a surplus of record sales. However, he learned quickly that it's not always smooth sailing at the top.

As Bieber continued to grow more popular, he experienced what was only the start of many scandals and bad press. His clean record started to diminish before our eyes. The talented and successful teen pop star started going after photographers, was a bad neighbor, turned to alcohol and drug abuse and even started to disrespect his fans. Now, in multiple videos and interviews, he has said that he wants to embrace Christianity and strive to be more like Jesus.

In an interview with "Complex Magazine," Bieber said, “I think that people, as soon as they start hearing me saying I’m a Christian, they’re like, ‘Whoa Justin, back up, take a step back.’ Also, I do not want to shove this down anyone’s throat. I just wanna honestly live like Jesus. Not be Jesus—I could never—I don’t want that to come across weird. He created a pretty awesome template of how to love people and how to be gracious and kind."

Bieber did not hesitate when asked about his faith in the interview. He continued to explain his personal understanding of Christianity by stating, “If we can understand that we’re all imperfect, let’s come to God and come for His help. You’re not weak by doing that. I think that’s a common misperception of Christians, that you're weak because you can’t handle it. None of us can handle this world, dude! It’s eating us alive.”

Bieber discussed earlier in the year, his personal goals and transition for this next year with Ellen DeGeneres on "The Ellen Show."

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.
