I read this poem a few years ago. And it's the reason I do most of the things I do, I could do better, but I always think of this poem during every day things.


I don't want God to be ashamed of me. I don't want him to blush when I walk into the room. I don't want Him to point me out to one of the angels and say "Yes, he's one of mine, even though he doesn't act like it."
So I'm glad I don't have to be uncertain to answer to the question, "is God ashamed of me?" The answer is completely under my control. It all depends on whether I consider myself an alien and a stranger in this world and anxiously look forward to heaven. If that is my attitude, then I'll also live like it.....
As children of God, we are citizens of heaven. Earth is no longer our home, we long for heaven.
