Christian Relatives
"Christian” Relatives…
Dear Lord, my relatives don’t know
or even comprehend…
The many trials and struggles I’ve had within!
They all claim to be “Christians.”
This is what they say.
But none of them will “give me the time of day!”
Rather than offering a hand of friendship
like they could…
Any desire ”to get together”
is clearly misunderstood!
They refused to talk when I tried
to give them a call.
Is being a part of this “family”
really worth it all???
It’s like they’re ready to “pounce on me.”
“waiting for the kill…”
It’s obvious they’re not
doing God’s will!
Lord Jesus… I’m now beginning to see…
Many who claim to follow you are not
what they pretend to be!
When someone in the family sins.
Please watch out!
Loving them is what God’s
FAMILY really is about!
A Christian family is more
than just words alone!
It’s being Christ’ example...
Both in and out of the home!
