‘I Am A Devoted Christian’
“All of you who know me know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I have immense love and affection for everyone,” Cameron Bure stated. “It completely tears my heart that anyone would believe I would deliberately seek to insult and upset someone.”
“It saddens me that the media so frequently seeks to divide people, even over something as comfortable and happy as Christmas movies,” the actress concluded. “However, considering the poisonous situation in our culture right now, I shouldn’t be shocked. “Christmas is more important than ever.”
Cameron Bure didn’t stop there, instead doubling down on the strong Christian convictions she’s been renowned for for decades.
“I am an ardent Christian. That is, I think that every human being is made in the image of God. As a result, I am commanded to love all people, which I do. “If you know me, you know that I love fiercely and unconditionally,” she stated. “My heart longs to build bridges and bring others closer to God, to love others well, and to simply reflect God’s enormous love for all of us.”
Cameron Bure Directly Addresses Her Haters
Cameron Bure then addressed those in and out of the media who have been persistently assaulting her in recent days.
“To the members of the media responsible for utilizing this occasion to stoke flames of strife and hate, I have a simple message: I love you nevertheless. I adore those who despise what I cherish and who attack me online. “I adore you, those who have attempted to attack my character,” she remarked. “I adore everyone reading this, regardless of color, creed, sexual orientation, or political party, especially those who have tried to harass me with name-calling.”
Cameron Bure went on to state that although she’s “always wanted to find a home for more faith-based programming,” she also wants “people of all races and identities to know that they have and will continue to contribute to the network in tremendous ways both in front of and behind the camera.”
“I’ve never been interested in evangelizing through my narrative, but rather in honoring God’s magnificence in our lives,” she continued.
Cameron Bure Ends With Godly Message
Cameron Bure concluded her speech with a stirring message about God.
“Our God is a brilliantly creative and loving God,” she explained. “He didn’t simply take a tiny portion of my heart, He has captured all of my heart. God’s love and compassion will be front and center in all I do and say; in my family, my career, and my contacts with others from all walks of life.”
“All of that comes from the LOVE that God himself bestowed upon humanity on the first Christmas morning 2000 years ago when he delivered the gift of joy and forgiveness,” Cameron Bure added. “It is why I enjoy Christmas stories and spreading pure joy and true peace with millions of people throughout the world. And I hope you’ll join me this Christmas season in expressing God’s hope for the entire globe out of pure love. That’s my Christmas desire.”
Cameron Bure has long been recognized as one of Hollywood’s only openly conservative Christian actors, so she’s used to dealing with reaction from the left. However, the leftwing backlash she’s received in the aftermath of her “traditional marriage” remarks has been particularly vicious, so she really need our prayers right now.
Cameron Bure deserves praise for always choosing the high road, even when it’s difficult. Candace, you are adored!
