When I Say

my Friend Abby Wrote this.

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 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!


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!!!!!!
Genesis 31:49


A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand
and
touches your heart.


♥ Give a little love and it all comes back to you ♥
