It’s sad when some in the Church treat people worse than the world. Yesterday I saw tons on social media about Kanye & many were from suspicious Christians doubting his conversion. Do I know with certainty Kanye is Christian? Not any more than a human can know anyone is. But I believe Kanye at his testimony. And I’d always rather err on the side of believing God is big enough to reach anyone. Heck, He was big enough to reach even ME! Do you really think the entertainment industry is off limits to God? And what is everyone so afraid of? What is the great harm in choosing to believing the best about Kanye? Being wrong? Hello, pride!

I’ve heard some say they were waiting for him to “produce fruit” before they believe. Well fruit takes time to grow, fam. When I got saved, I wasn’t instantly producing fruit! I’m grateful I was surrounded by grace-filled people who believed in me while my fruit was in process. The thief that was hung on a cross next to Jesus didn’t have time to “produce fruit” before he died. He merely asked Jesus, “Remember me when you come into Your kingdom,” to which Jesus promised, “Today you will be with me in paradise.” Jesus immediately received the man upon his acknowledgement of the Lordship of Christ. Not to mention, going on every talk show and telling millions of fans about the goodness of God IS FRUIT!!!

Why are we making this so much harder on people than Jesus did? He said: “Come to me, ALL you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30). Jesus directed His harsh rebukes NOT to new converts who weren’t producing fruit quickly enough, but towards those people who kept others away from salvation – the Pharisees: “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.” Matthew ‭23:13‬

Jesus believes in Kanye. Be like Jesus. ❤️ #ibelieve #jesusis
