Definition Essay: My Father

I ask myself many questions, the world that I leave in. When my mother had me 19 years ago, it was like a miracle. Why was I born? If I live, who do I live for? And if I die, where will I go? What is God’s plan for me? Until my father explained to, “to live is Christ and to die is to gain for every Christian who believe in the word of God and meditates on it.
When I was a very young boy my father used to tell me, “A man’s definition is not based upon external characteristics, but internal traits. That the definition of a man is found in the image of God. My father is a man of God, he reflects God. He is man of wisdom, an example of the believers in this world. My father is a man of prayer, he is a student of the word of God.

Because from where I am from, today’s church isn’t what it used to be. Kids show up to church know days because they are forced too. People don’t go to church because they want to praise God now days, they go for their own purposes. Church now days is a place where men and women go to find there perfect men or women. Church is supposed to be a place for prayer and praise. We, the church are supposed to be examples, we’re supposed to be disciples, but we choose to follow the world instead of changing it.

But one thing we don’t understand is that we don’t have to keep going around in circles because up there, we see a light someone holding it. It is help. Instead of us running towards it, we choose not too, because we are too afraid. And many since they are too afraid to preach the truth, they’re confused and ready to just give up.
