non-practising

If anyone ever tells you that he's a non-practising Christian, and he knows exactly what that means, and he meant it, know this also that that person is not a Christian at all.

There's only two kind of Christians; a Christian, and a non-Christian.

account

Toils,
For the sake of none,
Blessed,
With praises to self.

Blessed,
Thanksgiving given to mute gods,
Praises given to lifeless lords.

Corruption,
Lived for none,
Utterly worthless living.

Gladness in failure,
Happiness in shame
One has yet to start living,
Until one is found by God.

Growing in solitude,
Prepared in silence,
Armoured in the quiet.

Fair maiden,
Beautiful splendour,
Unwittingly loved.

Compelled to His service,
Wonderfully coerced,
Magnificently wooed,
Into celibacy.
'You have made us for Yourself, and our hearts are restless till it rest in You.' - Augustine of Hippo.

Servant of none,
Servant of all, made,
Daily regretted,
Daily lived and rejoiced.

giving

You wanted me to share my life with others, but doesn't that means giving it away?

How can giving pieces of my life away make me whole..?
