Christians-ByMayaAngelou

WhenIsay…"IamaChristian"
I’mnotshouting"I’mcleanlivin’."
I’mwhispering"Iwaslost,
NowI’mfoundandforgiven."

WhenIsay…"IamaChristian"
Idon’tspeakofthiswithpride.
I’mconfessingthatIstumble
andneedChristtobemyguide.

WhenIsay…"IamaChristian"
I’mnottryingtobestrong.
I’mprofessingthatI’mweak
AndneedHisstrengthtocarryon.

WhenIsay…"IamaChristian"
I’mnotbraggingofsuccess.
I’madmittingIhavefailed
AndneedGodtocleanmymess.

WhenIsay…"IamaChristian"
I’mnotclaimingtobeperfect,
Myflawsarefartoovisible
But,GodbelievesIamworthit.

WhenIsay…"IamaChristian"
Istillfeelthestingofpain.
Ihavemyshareofheartaches
SoIcalluponHisname.

WhenIsay…"IamaChristian"
I’mnotholierthanthou,
I’mjustasimplesinner
WhoreceivedGod’sgoodgrace,somehow!

Sharethiswithsomebodywhoalreadyhasthisunderstanding,asreinforcement.Butmoreimportantly,sharethiswiththosewhodonothaveaclearunderstandingofwhatitmeanstobeaChristian,sothatthemyththatChristiansthinktheyare"perfect"or"betterthanothers"canbedispelled.
