Do You Love Me As Christ Does

Do You Love Me As Christ Does?

Do you think of yourself as
 closer to God than I?
Will you sit closer to him,
 after we die?

The way you look at me... 
I sometimes wonder.
You treat me as is I'm just
 "one big blunder."

You don't know me. 
Yet you act as if you do.
Only God knows my heart…
  Not you!

Didn't the same Jesus die 
 for you and me?
Will I have a home by yours, 
in eternity?

Please don’t give up on me…  
 I deserve a chance?
We should love one another...
 beyond any "circumstance."

How will you treat me,
 when all seems lost?
Christ left the 99 sheep to find
 the one who was lost.

Often, the "unlovable people" 
need love and attention...
If being a Christ follower, 
is truly your intention...
