 Am I Christian?

It has been nearly 23 years since that defining day in Callaghan under the walnut tree,
When with  the swiftness of a lightning bolt, God entered my soul and gave me a new heart.
Does it still exist?
Is it some semantic game of words that I play?
Am I Christian?
My life is revealed as an open book full of failure and fraud to my eyes this morning.

Power once flowed through my veins as change transformed my thoughts and some of my ways.
This new heart created within me,  a new being full of love,  without the wisdom of outlet.
Is it still within me?
Or is it a nostalgic look back into my life?
Am I Christian?
I peer deeply into the motives and intentions of my soul to see if the purity of God still lives.

I see a soul within me that craves depth of God's existence looking for kinship.
My heart beats with the presence of love and is motivated by peace and tranquility.
But is this where I'm supposed to stand?
Is this the creation that was formed under the walnut?
Am I Christian?
Somehow the metamorphosis of my soul has taken some alternate route to this moment in time.

Yes, I am someone who seeks the benefit of mankind through the actions of my life.
Love is the intent that drives my life into the open seas of unprotected giving.
But am I all God created me to be?
Have I become only a small shard of His desire?
Am I Christian?
I stand before the mirror of my soul to look,  I see a Jesus of freshness and of reality.

You may look at me and judge my life as some wanderer from the truth,
But I see the gentle guidance of God's hand through the reality of Christ in my life.
I am the son that He created.
The process, thought different, continues to change and define my existence.
I am Christian!
Able to stand before God justified by the Blood of Jesus Christ, able to serve, able to love.
