| I Am a Christian |
| When I say... "I am a Christian", I'm not shouting "I am saved"
I'm whispering "I was lost" That's 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 am 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. 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!!! |
