 When I say "I am a Christian"
A
woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him
first to find her.'


When
I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting ''I'm clean livin'' I'm whispering 'I was lost, 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 UP 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 was just a sinner who received God's good grace by faith!



Pretty
is as Pretty does... but Beautiful is just plain .........Beautiful!

pitapie,
You are welcome here anytime.........Never run away....
Faith is something you just have to believe in and when the days get long and your faith is short...It is then you get out the bible and believe HIS word.....

How true, after all Christ taught us to be humble and afterall He came down to earth to clean up our mess and forgive our sins. A great entry!!
