Christian written by: Maya Angelou

May 17, 2008 / by grasshopper

I have had this for writing for a few years, I thought I would share this, as it is very true.
 
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! 
'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'
by Maya Angelou
