What’s a Christian?

Christian

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 livin”

I’m whispering “I was lost, Now I’m found and forgiving.”

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 sinner Who recivied God’s good grace, somehow!
