When I say, “I am a Christian”
When I say, “I am a Christian,” I’m not shouting “I've been saved!” I’m whispering, “I get lost! That's why I chose this way.”
When I say, “I am a Christian,”I don’t speak with human pride. I’m confessing that I stumble - needing God 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 that I've failed and cannot ever pay the debt.
When I say, “I am a Christian,” I don't think I know it all. I submit to my confusion, asking humbly to be taught.
When I say, “I am a Christian,” I’m not claiming to be perfect. My flaws are far 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 heartache, 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.
