Why I say I Am A Christian


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 to 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 grace somehow.
