Poem - When I Say I Am A Christian

[sissy_momof2]

Here's a poem I found while doing my devotionals that might encourage, it certainly did me.  Have a great day!  Sissy


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 get 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.
I only know I'm loved.
