When I Say, “I am a Christian”

I saw a poem online written by Carol Mimmer and really enjoyed it.  She reveals great truths in the contrasts she shares.  Allow me to share some of it with you:

When I say I am a Christian

I’m not shouting I’ve been saved

I’m whispering I feel lost sometimes

That’s why I chose this way

.

When I say I am a Christian

I don’t speak with human pride

I’m confessing that I stumble

and need God 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 pray for the strength to carry on

.

When I say I am a Christian

I’m not bragging of success

I’m admitting that I’ve failed

and cannot ever pay the debt

.

When I say I am a Christian

I’m not claiming to be perfect

My flaws are all too visible

but God believes I’m worth it

.

When I say I am a Christian

I do not wish to judge

I have no authority

I only know I’m loved

Keeping things in perspective is important.  If you enjoyed this it may have to do with the fact that you know you are a servant of the Christ and proud to carry His name.

Blessings,
