| I'M A CHRISTIAN... 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 sinner who received God's good grace, somehow. Author ~Maya Angelou~ |
| I agree with Maya; this is a very good description of what it means to be a Christian. Sybil Vaughn |
