When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I am saved" I'm whispering "I was lost!" That is why I choose 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 visiblebut 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. Carol Wimmer - 1988 ________________________________
