QUOTE OF THE WEEK!

I found this poem while on vacation in a quaint little country store. I thought it was nice. Hope you enjoy it as well.


I AM A CHRISTIAN
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting, "I am saved".
I'm whispering, "I was lost".
That is why I chose this way.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I dont 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'm a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And cannot ever pay the debt.
When I say..."I'm 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'm a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
Which is why I speak His name.
When I say..."I'm a Christian"
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority.
I only know I'm loved.
