Christians - By Maya Angelou


 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 forgiven."



 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 simple sinner

 Who received God's good grace, somehow!



Share this with somebody who already has this understanding, as 
reinforcement. But more importantly, share this with those who do not
have a clear understanding of what it means to be a Christian, so that the
myth  that Christians think they are "perfect" or "better than others" can
be  dispelled.



 May your day be filled with many blessings!!!
