I am a Christian

To me, my faith is the core of everything. It is the foundation of my each decision. I take each day as an opportunity to learn something new about HIS word, and believe me when I say, "I don't have it all together." Because truth is I don't. As you read the poem posted below, remember that even Christians don't have it all together. There are times when we get lost, we are weak, we fail, and we are not perfect. BUT with Christ, we are able to choose His way and have him as our guide to carry us through the hard times and keep us humble through the good times. 

I am a Christian

When I say..."I am a Christian"

I'm not shouting "I am saved"

I'm whispering "I get lost!"

"That is why I chose this way."

When I say..."I am a Christian"

I don't speak of this with pride.

I'm confessing that I stumble

and need someone 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 strength to carry on.

When I say..."I am a Christian"

I'm not bragging of success.

I'm admitting I have failed

and cannot ever pay the debt.

When I say..."I am a Christian"

I'm not claiming to be perfect,

my flaws are too visible

but God believes I'm worth it.

When I say..."I am a Christian"

I still feel the sting of pain

I have my share of heartaches

which is why I seek His name.

When I say..."I am a Christian"

I do not wish to judge.

I have no authority.

I only know I'm loved.
