Christians By Maya Angelou
When I say.. "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin."
I'm whispering "I was lost."
Now I'm found and forgiven.
When I say.. "I'm 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'm a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak.
And I need His strength to carry on.
When I say.. "I'm a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admittingI have failed.
And need God to clean my mess.
When I say.. "I'm 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'm 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'm a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who recieved God's good grace, somehow!
Share this with somebody who already has this understanding, as reinforcement. But more importantly, share this with those who do not have a clear understanding of what it means to be a Christian, so that the myth that Christians think they are "perfect" or "better than others" can be dispelled.
May your day be filled with many blessings!!!!!!
