The problem with "Christians" is that well . . . they are so fallible.
Perhaps I had a miserable youth
But somewhere in my wicked miserable past
I must have had a moment of truth
For here You are
Standing there
Loving me
Whether or not You should
So somewhere in my youth
Or childhood
I must have done something good
Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I am not only listening for the sandels, but I am also looking for the glow!
William, I hope you hear the hear soft fall of sandals beside you, and may you also hear His laughter.
It is my hope that all unbelievers see that the Christians around them are learning to be like their Messiah....too often unbelievers are turned off by "Christians" who make excuses for their sins...and do NOT want to change when their faults are exposed.....
OUCH.......
;-)
Deborah~Although I believe that the purpose of our lives is to glorify God,we have to remember that since Christ was crucified there have been NO perfect humans walking the earth. The Glory is that we have already been forgiven, yet it pleases the Father when we try to walk closer and closer with Him and enjoy His fellowship. That is when we get to experience a litle of the joy of heaven on earth.
Alexander, thank you for getting it. Perhaps I should have posted this on a non-Christian specific group? I think we need to get the word out to non-Christians that every Christian is at a different level in their journey to follow in the steps of The Teacher. Some of us have been "practicing" for years and are more than "pew warmers" while others are CEOs . . . Christmas & Easter Only. Which actually leads me to my next blog post ;-).
Hugh, thanks for the feature. Yes, glorifying God no matter what we are going through is the ultimate goal, but alas we have created a problem for ourselves: we are held to different standards. (Which leads me to the next post! ;-})
Amen sister,
I definitely need the blood of christ to cover my shortcoming and they are many:)
