‘A person’s heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek
Him first to find them.’
When I say that ‘I am a Christian’, I am not shouting that ‘I am clean living.
I’m whispering ‘I was lost, but 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!

Beautiful Poetry…the words are touching.
Thank you for this blog. I just happened upon it…..and it is a great inspiration for me to start the day. I am a teacher in a public school and I just started a blog for teachers incorporating God and Christian values. It’s my way of sharing God with teachers because it’s not something we can legally incorporate in the class. If you get a chance, please check it out. I would love your feedback since I’m new to this. Peace and Blessings to you…
My blog is called soulteaching.
I agree wtih Carl. I want my actions and my life to convey that I am a Christian. Of course, like everyone else, I fail, and in those times, it isn’t as evident.
Thank you for all of your wonderful comments, today I have to shut off internet until it gets hooked up in the new apartment. Please bare with me…. Love you all blessings, Jackie

The best thing of being a Christian is that we have a God that forgives and saves. I stop counting my flaws, but God Never gave up. Stay blessed

Just beautiful, thank you.
Just quietly living the Christian life style as an example is louder than all the proclamations we could make.
