A Journey: Part 1 Poem by Jacob Courtney

part 1 God is Not Your Fairy Godmother

Who is God to you? It is a simple
question that demands a simple answer?
Who is God to you? Today I see the things
people post on social media or listen to
what they say but I truly don't think
many of us truly know who God is to us.
So many christians today treat him like
a fairy godmother asking for things like
wishes yet not wanting to do any of the
work required of them like submitting to
God's will cause if we did the church
today would not be in a catatonic state
that it is in slowly dying away.
People today who claim to be christians
don't want to live for God daily they
just don't want to go to Hell. Basically
they want to live life the way they want
to doing whatever their carnal desires
are giving no reguard or reverence for
who God is. We can not live like hell
6 days a week then walk into church
on sundays singing God's praises it
does not work like that. That is a part
of what is killing the church today. People
are not blind they see you lying they see
you cheating, stealing, they hear you talk
in an unpleasant manner, or getting drunk
all the time. As a non christian if you
act like me and still get into heaven
then that means I don't have to change
to get into heaven. Sinners justify
why they do not have to change their
ways based on how we present ourselves
as christians. On the other side of the
coin we are human to and error in so many
ways but when we do non christians are
quick to point out our flaws.
