By Maya Angelou
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 living
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.
======================================================
This holds true for any man, woman or child who accepts Jesus Christ as his or her Savior. Live a life that shows humility. Jesus set the example.
