Just to share with you what my idea of what a Christian should be


 

TO BE A CHRISTIAN

To be a Christian is to receive
Christ into your heart
and to share Him with others
by the way you live
"Let your light
shine before others"
that they may see God in you

Also, be a witness to what
you say and (write)
In poetry we reveal
our true self in
what you believe to
be the truth

If you have evil
in your heart,
this will come out
in your poetry
What you reveal
is what is in your heart

We must fight evil
(thoughts and deeds)
if we wish to follow Christ
for what we think, we will
act on and we will become

If you have evil thoughts
and desires, you must
block then out by
doing good and by
sacrifice

The world is in need
of this for the pendulent
has swung from
the center of things
and it is in harms way
for the great punishment
of GOD
who is merciful
but also just

The ultimate example of being a Christian is to share gifts with others. You have personified that quality by allowing us to read this marvelous article.

Warmest regards ...

I think you mean "Christian" - check the spelling in your piece. Malcolm Watts

Lil Flower. I agree with what you write. I would add this, though. God's mercy is great and it is a gift to whomever he sees fit to give it too. The reason should be clear. He knows what we can only surmise. To be a Christian is in part one with the ability to know of his or her failures and the humility to lay them on Gods strong shoulders through Jesus Christ. Only he can judge. Your poem was a wonderful wakeup call. Stress that forgiveness. It is our salvation.
God Bless,
Lew

As your poem so clearly states - Christian is not a title, but a way of life. To embrace God [and by words and actions] and to share His love is the responsibility of all Christians.

Well said.

Lil Flower,

I agree. When one embraces a Christian life-style and belief,it shows in their work and the expressions they choose. Thanks for reminding us that our words reveal more than ink to paper.
