A Real Christian by A. W. Tozer

A Real Christian is an odd number, anyway.

He feels supreme love

for One whom he has never seen;

Talks familiarly everyday

to someone he cannot see;

Expects to go to heaven

on the virtue of another;

Empties himself

in order to be full;

Admits he is wrong

so he can be declared right;

Goes down

in order to get up;

Is strongest

when he is weakest;

Richest

when he is poorest

Happiest

when he feels the worst.

He dies

so he can live;

Forsakes

in order to have;

Gives away

so he can keep;

Sees the invisible;

Hears the inaudible;

And knows that which passeth knowledge.
