"I am a Christian"

I received this in an email and wanted to share...

***************************

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean livin.''
I'm whispering, 'I was lost, now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are far too visible but, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain..
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou.
I'm just a simple sinner, who received God's good grace, somehow!


***************************

A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.

***************************

Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps if you are not willing to move your feet.

  1. Good post - I like that last one, I hadn't heard it before!
    P.S. Thanks for the reassurance on my last post - I know it will get back to normal eventually, I just would rather it be sooner than later to make using this method easier!
