Introspective: Identity

"Mirror mirror on the wall...

Do you still see christ in me at all???

Does my life reflect the part???

That Jesus plays in my heart???

See, we say we are Christian 

Yet we don't reflect the Son 

We think we are christian because... 

Dad is a church elder, mom is that cheerful ol' Sunday teacher 

And because of the many bibles on the book shelf 

Hence,we are christian 

That's a fact 

Well, what a cleaver act 

Creative art of the heart 

Yet a blinded conviction; inceptions with deceptions 

This perspective skews your sense of identity 

See, you put Gods word on your lips 

Yet it's absent in your deeds 

It takes a shortcut to many people's ears 

But skips the path that leads to your heart 

Well, here is the paradox: every shortcut you take will cut you short 

Radically shifting your sense of identity 

Because you're "Christian" but not CHRIST-LIKE 

Here is a poets point of view.... 

"If zambians have roots in Zambia, so do Christians have roots in Christ"  

See, you were made in God's image 

To serve a purpose that expresses the vision of God; your artist 

That's the core of your identity 

See, you are the heartbeat of Ephesians 2:10 

A great piece of art created in Christ for good works which God created ahead of time 

So that we would walk in them 

Dare to take a voyage of self-discovery, trekking across all the Bible pages 

You'll realize you've been living in worldly prison cages 

And in the vision of my imagination Alas! 

Without the comfort of familiarity 

Faking peace when your words and deeds are in disunity 

You bound yourself in shackles of curiosity 

Who are you??? 

Are you the person God created you to be??? 

Or just a person this earthly world is begging you to be???

This is an introspective.... 

The search for our true identity...
