Live life for a reason,
The center of my life is Jesus.
You say his name more than you realize,
Mostly, not in ways he pleases.

What's the point of your life,
The thing that keeps you going.
Wassup, you fool,
With all your drinking and smoking?!

Get your life straight,
The way it needs to be.
Give Jesus a chance,
He'll change you, like He did me!

If you say, "Oh well, that's not for me ..",
Oh gosh, if you could only see..
Live life for a reason,
Be strong, be free!

God has made himself real in my life. I used to be lost, but now I'm found! Your worst day as a Christian is SO much better than your best as a sinner!   Give God a chance! This, coming from a true Christian. God Bless.

Welcome Cecil!

How true your words! I've been there also. I've been on the other side and thank God for where I am today.  My sister is one of those who can't see, and it's very frustrating when you know life can be so much more with Jesus!  

Thank you for this testimony! I hope to see more from you.

Please check your email for a special greeting!

Welcome!  May your enthusiasm never wane.  We are all sinners, but some are unrepentant, while others are repentant. A very nice first post... Looking forward to more.

Cecil,
  Welcome to our forum of faith and thank you for your expressions of faith & conviction.  You have a message in your poem and by your life that God can change us, if we will let Him do so.  That is a message of Hope & Challenge, thank you for sharing with us.  David
