When I say I am a Christian

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!


Today is Beautiful Christian Person's Day.
Pretty is as Pretty does but, Beautiful is just plain Beautiful..
