Today in the sermon, our preacher used this poem and I fell in love with it! I went on google and I found it! Here it is: 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 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.
