Be friends with the non-Christian/ “non-believers”.

Not because they are lost and need someone to show them “Love” or “Christ”, not because of a narrative where they’re empty, void, and missing something, or where they are wild and need saving from their own “flesh” or “demise”.

Do not befriend based off of any perceived lack, where your presence is the tool that can save or heal.

Befriend others because they also can sharpen you, but be careful not to make it for your own gain and their own downfall.

Be friends because that is a whole entire human being just like you with beauty and meaning and validity and a complex story that has a purpose. Non Christians can show you love in ways you thought incapable (gonna go ahead and say it because I was taught only Christians know what real love and compassion and peace is). Non-Christians People of all backgrounds can open your eyes to the vastness and glory of God, whether they have what you believe to be the only true and real relationship or not.

Be friends because fear shouldn’t dictate any of us, and if you’re afraid because you might be “lead astray”, you are allowing yourself to stay in a box you were never meant to live in. You are pushing away gifts that could draw you into deeper forms of love for yourself, others, and the Divine. Also can we just talk about that level of fear?

I just really want to see more genuine friendships between Christians and non-Christians and those in-between, still figuring things out. (Understand that putting others in such strict boxes puts you and God in one too).

— From an ex-christian that still wants to be loved rightly, and to see others loved rightly.
