While walking, crying and filled with despair
i started talking to YOU
GOD, i know, YOU'RE always there
i found myself in the company of a Christian friend
i thought, oh great, a few words with her
my melancholy feelings would surely end
when she asked, "Why do you cry?"
i looked up into her eyes
and said, "i don't know why i'm sad and blue"
she replied, "that's of the devil and
if you were a true Christian,
would not be a part of you!"
i said, "thank you, my sister, for your advice!"
i really don't feel the words you gave
could have come from one who truly knows CHRIST"
if you truly knew HIM, then you would know
that even Christians, have sad times in their life
even Christians have heartache and pain
especially Christians must sometimes clime an abrasive hill and must
call for help on THE SAVIOR'S name
if Christians walked this earth with no weights at all
how would we know if we had faith and be ready
when THE MASTER calls
i must share with you one more thing
all on this earth are faced with problems just existing brings
what makes Christians different from the rest
we have SOMEONE to whom these things to give,
HE is the best
so if you think because i cry i do not believe
you are wrong
i'm going through some troubles today
i have struck another of life's walls
tomorrow when HE has lifted them
i'll have a new testimony of faith, that's all
take this with you as we part
a Christian is only a sinner
with a changed heart!

Amen my fellow Christian
It is so true. We are sinners with a changed heart. Isn't it nice to know we can go to one who is bigger than us and tell Him all our troubles and give it all to Him?
I hope your time of trial and tribulation makes you a stronger person and brings you closer to our Father. You will be in my prayers, friend.
May God keep you safe.

Interesting... I must admit that this is an unique piece. Um... that's about it..
-
This is lovely, although I disagree with empathetic rose, because everyone is born a sinner.
Thank you for entering and all the best in the contest.

it's a shame people turn out these ways, nobody is born a sinner but seems to become one quite easily.
-
a word well-spoken
I'm assuming what you wrote was both personal and true.
It is right on! Seems to me
jesus had some troubles, too. LOL

I love this, it's amazing. I really love the way you constructed the poem. I don't think I have anything negative to say.
Cheers,

You obviously understand exactley who you are and won't let another tell u different! Sorry that there were tears that day, I hope it gets better! I love your poems. BRAVO!

So very true. The words are real and you have indeed sent a message that some fail to hear. Thanks for sharing

Bless You!

Very spiritual.
I found this to be a very real and truely profound testimal to your belief in Christ. You have captured what it means to be in touch with Him in the most understanding way possible. He always knows just what we are going through and see us through if we believe in Him. There are always going to be good and bad days in life and you captured the very best way to deal with these trials and how to find the strength to overcome. Very good poem excepitionally well done.

This was very moving although I cannot relate to it personally which shows for a good spiritual piece. It's weird though, the tone was a bit melancholy for a piece that should be inspirational. I don't know why, that is just how I read it. Anyways, Nice Job!

Thanks for the comment on my poem... and kind words!!! You are very perceptive, I was crying when I wrote this poem just as the person is in the poem... So, I became my own "Christian friend". Thanks again,
