♥~*CHRISTIANS~BY MAYA ANGELOU♥~*

♥~* WHEN I SAY***  " I AM CHRISTIAN"
I'M NOT SHOUTING "IM CLEAN LIVIN".
I'M WHISPERING "I WAS LOST ,NOW I'M FOUND AND FORGIVEN."

♥~*WHEN I SAY***  " I AM A CHRISTIAN"
I DONT 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 STRENGHT 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 VISABLE , BUT GOD BELIEVES IM 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 CHRISTIAN"
I'M NOT HOLIER THAN THOU,
I'M JUST  A SIMPLE SINNER
WHO RECEIVED GOD'S  GOOD GRACE SOMEHOW!

    MAGGIE, I COULDN'T HAVE SAID THIS ANY BETTER THAN YOU DID!!! People who are not believers AND those who are like we are need to read this. If a christian proclaims to be perfect, without sin, holier than thou, etc, then they are NOT christians. We all have made mistakes, and we need the forgiveness of Christ to keep on the straight and narrow. We're human just like everybody else!!! I hope everybody finds that salvation, so they can be up there with us too!!!!! (((hugs)))!!! Amy

    I saw this in an e-mail a long time ago. It's a great statement! I'm a Christian - that does not make me better than you, it makes me saved. :)
