That's Why


WHEN I SAY, "I AM A CHRISTIAN"

 


When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not shouting "Look at me; I'm saved!"
  I'm whispering, "I was lost," which is why I chose this way.

  When I say, "I am a Christian," I don't speak of this with pride.
  I'm confessing that I stumble and need a DEPEND on my spiritual 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 I have failed, and can NEVER pay the debt.

  When I say, "I am 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 am 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 am a Christian," I do not wish to judge.
  I have no authority to do that.  I only know I'm loved.

ENJOY your religion, your thoughts and your belief.  PRAY AND PRAY however you wish. 


BUT DO NOT PREACH TO US.  If we are interested we know where to find a church.......... there are 14 here in town to choose from.

So when I say that "I am not a Christian" and I do not believe that Jesus was anything other than an ordinary man, will you accept me for who and what I am?

Thanks Karen!  You're a trusting and truly good soul (no matter what tED says about you).


No offense, but I'd prefer the opinion of the poem poster (smells like a Russ posting..Russ - is that you?)!

Absolutely, I would not judge you.  I can disagree right?
