When I Say Im A Christian

 When I Say Im A Christian (Poem)

Woman; Heart; Chrisitan; Humility; Devotion; Perfection; Lost; Found;

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ

 that a man  should have to seek Him first to find her.'

 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 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.
