You're The Christian
by Barbara Philbrook

"You're the Christian" you said with contempt and derision,
as though you're angry over my decision.

The fact that I love Jesus takes nothing from you,
in fact the very opposite is true.

My love for others is now deeper than before,
since I invited Jesus into my heart's door.

Love purer than I have ever known,
ever since the truth I've been shown.

I hope I've in no way offended you,
that is the last thing I would want to do.

I seek only to share my new found bliss,
hoping you too will come to know such happiness.

Thrilled with the knowledge I will be with Jesus for eternity,
I pray daily you'll be there with me.

Please accept my apology for any errors I make,
Jesus has much to do and I'm not sure how long it will take.
