Being a Christian isn't necessarily something that can be explained. It's something that has to be felt. Poetry is the closest we can come to "feeling" another person's words or experiences, so here is my attempt to explain the unexplainable. Here is what it is like to be a Christian, for those of you who don't know:

Being a Christian

for those of you who don’t know

is having your sins washed away,

and waking up early on Sunday mornings

to see what the preacher has to say.

Being a Christian

for those of you who don’t know

is falling to your knees in prayer,

thanking Him for His blessings

and laying your soul bare.

Being a Christian

for those of you who don’t know

is being full of inner peace,

feeling the depths of His love

and knowing that it will never cease.

Being a Christian

for those of you who don’t know

is finding beauty

in the ugliest of places

and being aware of His overflowing graces.

Being a Christian

for those of you who don’t know

is forgiveness you don’t deserve

and knowing you’re never alone

even when His presence isn’t visibly shown.

Being a Christian

for those of you who don’t know

is a life full of love and compassion,

and an overflowing river of grace

that you can’t help but to drown in.
