When I say “I am a Christian, “I’m not shouting that I’m living a clean life. “I’m whispering that I was lost, but now I’m found and forgiven.”
When I say, “I'm a Christian not speaking pride, I’m confessing that I stumble and need Jesus Christ to be my guide.”
When I say “I’m a Christian, I’m not trying to be strong, I’m professing that I am weak and need His strength to carry on.”
When I say, “I’m 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’m a Christian, “I still feel the pain, I have my share of heartaches, so I call on His name.”
When I say, “I’m a Christian, I’m not saying I’m holier than thou, I’m a simple sinner who received God’s good grace, somehow.”
These beliefs are in my heart, reminding me who I was, and that Jesus is not a bandage for my misgivings and failures, but the cure for my broken spirit.
Truly when you look at me, you see the outside man is still the same, but on the inside the new is struggling to get totally free.
With Jesus Christ, in me I will become what I was meant to be. A victorious, child of the King, made whole, a member of the family looking toward heaven as my eternal home!
Who Am I?
