Christians
One of my friends sent me this and I want to share it with you. These are powerful and true words written by Maya Angelou.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 sin ner
Who received God's good grace, somehow.
Share this with somebody who already has
this understanding, as reinforcement. But
more importantly, share this with those who
do not have a clear understanding of what it
means to be a Christian, so that the myth
that Christians think they are "perfect" or
"better than others" can be dispelled.
May your day be filled with many
blessings!
Ps.91:1
