I Am A Christian

x----x---x--x---x--x----x---x----x--x---x--x---x----x

When I say..."I am a Christian",  I'm not shouting "I am saved".
I'm whispering "I was lost".  That is why I chose this way.

When I say ..."I am a Christian", I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need someone 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 pray for strength to carry on.

When I say..."I am a Christian", I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and cannot ever pay the debt.

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

When I say..."I am a Christian", I still feel the sting of pain;
 I have my share of heartaches which is why I speak His name.

When I say..."I am a Christian", I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority. I only know I'm loved.
