Am I a Christian?
Because I am a man of God,
who makes sure spreading the Gospel is my mission.
I go to church on Sundays just to stare and listen,
as the preacher in front talks about a book some guy has written,
Am I a Christian?
Because as soon as I step out of those doors,
my life takes a complete U-turn.
From the life of a Godly individual,
to one who's god is no other than the person he sees in the mirror.
I set my Facebook status to Christian,
and make sure I post a Bible Verse everyday,
and add a side note to trust in God and pray.
But when I'm having fun in a party,
or if I receive a blessing,
God's not on my thank you list,
I don't even thank Him for the things He so graciously gave me.
Am I a Christian?
because if I smile,
it doesn't mean I'm not beat up inside.
Just  because I pray,
doesn't mean that I listened to God during that day.
Just because my Facebook says I'm Christian
it doesn't mean that I'm actually listening.
Just because I tweet Bible verses,
it doesn't mean that my life reflects Jesus.
Because I can tell everyone that I know God,
but it doesn't mean that I am actually his son.
So am I actually a Christian?
Because when that day comes,
when we finally meet God,
will He tell me, "Come to me my son."
or will He say, "Who are you? Be gone!"
Am I a Christian?
