from a friend's friend friend's blog...
When I say that “I am a Christian,” I am not shouting that “I am clean living.”I’m whispering “I was lost, but 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!
