Christians, do you only claim to be one?

Today I took one of those showers where you only wash your body and not your hair. You get what I mean? Okay cool. It got me thinking that you can relate this to Christ. Now, you might be wondering how you can relate any of this whole showering things to Jesus. Technically, I'm going to be relating this post to Christians. Now, I feel as there are two main types. The "wash your whole body & hair" Christians or the "only wash the body". Ha, well, if that makes any sense at all. Let me explain things. I'll start with the "only wash the body" type of Christians. The Christians who "Only wash the body" are like the people who claim to be Christians, but don't do anything about it. They're only substance Christians, if that makes any sense. They claim to be "Christian" but do they worship God? No. Do they pray? Negative. Do they go to church at least once per month? No. Do they show God's Love to others daily? Probably not. Do they even love God? (I won't answer that one, since I'm not positively sure that the answer is the same for everyone.) Anyways, you get what type of people I'm referring to. Now, the "Wash the entire body including the hair"  type of people are the ones that even I strive to be. The hair, in my opinion, during a shower, takes up more than half of the work (for us females). The "hair" in our beautiful little metaphor is like the worship, prayer, love, care, commitment, and hope in our relationship with Christ. You can't just wash your body and claim to be okay. (Now, there's always exceptions for shut-ins and people in the  nursing home who can't physically move) Washing our hair during the shower is as if we are loving, and praying to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I strive to love him with all of my heart and I prays that you do too. Romans 5:3-5 are probably some of my favorite verses, if you wanna check them out, by the way. I'm never good at coming up with a creative ending to these blog posts-so let's pretend that this one is creative and catchy.
