When I say "I am a Christian" - great poem....

[Tama]

When I Say "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 heartacheswhich 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. -Author Carol Wimmer - Copyright 1988
