WHEN I SAY, "I AM A CHRISTIAN"
~ By Carol Wimmer © 1988
When I say, “I am a Christian,”
I’m not shouting, “I’ve been saved!”
I’m whispering, “I get lost! That’s why I chose this way”
When I say, “I am a Christian,”
I don’t speak with human pride
I’m confessing that I stumble-needing God 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 that I’ve failed and cannot ever pay the debt
When I say, “I am a Christian,”
I don’t think I know it all
I submit to my confusion asking humbly to be taught
When I say, “I am a Christian,”
I’m not claiming to be perfect
My flaws are far 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 heartache 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

Very nice. Thanks for sharing these.
Oh Teresa, this is awesome!!! I've never heard this one before and I totally love it! Such a great reminder of how to live as Christians! Thanks so much for sharing it. :)

I really like that. I especially like it because I mean all of those exact things when I say I'm Jewish. Our shared heritage and values are much greater (in more ways than one) than our differences.
Keep faith.

This was beautiful Teresa! Thank you so much for visiting Mama's Little Chick and for sharing about your grandparents. I know it must be difficult as you see your grandmother age, however, what an absolute blessing it is that she has and is living a full life surrounded by a loving family! I hope you have a great night!
