Authentic

I picked up an old book the other day called JESUS/NOW by Leslie Brandt. He wrote some cool words that I want to share with you.



The person who is deeply committed to God and his purposes,
Who accepts his or her own humanity,
Its fallibility and failures,
Who responds to God’s forgiving love
And indwelling Spirit,
And recognizes the injunction and call
To be a loving servant,
Who emulates Jesus Christ
In His loving and sacrificial servanthood,
That person is an authentic Christian
Who truly is assigned to building God’s Kingdom
In the world today.
