poetry

People around me say the church is full of
hypocrites,
but that’s just not the case.
The church is the body of Christ.
We all have our mistakes, our shame,
but without God
we would be nothing but filth and dirty rags.
The people who make that accusation,
are the people who see us when we are down
and in the valley.
Church is where we come back to the One of
forgiveness and hope.
People have got to remember that Christians are
not perfect,
but forgiven people who were just like the ones
who think that we are
hypocrites.
But God knows your heart and where you
stand.
You may be a hypocrite and leading people away
from the forgiving
God.
Then again, there are the ones who try to be that
witness and show the
truth!
I want to be that witness.
God forgive me,
and those who try to be that witness but
fall.
Let us leave that legacy that You -the God of all - are
REAL!!!
