Does A “Christian” Family Mean Anything?

Dear Lord, my family 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 “give me the time of day!”

Rather than offering a hand of friendship

 like they should…

Any desire to get together

 isn’t 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”

for the kill…

It’s obvious they’re not

doing God’s will!

 I suppose I’m now beginning to see…

Many who claim to follow Jesus aren’t

 what they pretend to be!

When someone in our 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!
