A good friend of mine sent this to me and I just loved it. I hope you'll find yourself in it too.
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 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
