Something to think about


Hope this brightens up your day =)

When I say that 'I am a Christian', I am not shouting that 'I am clean living.


I'm whispering 'I was lost, but 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!
