WHEN I SAY 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 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 seek His name.

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