I Am a Christian
The following was copied from an article that I found on Facebook:
I Am A Christian
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!
Have you ever had a “slap you in the face moment?” That’s a moment when you realize you needed a slap in the face to wake yourself up. When I read this I was reminded that I am not important. This life isn’t about me; it’s about God. God is always there to help us when we need Him. Jesus said, “come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matt. 11:28). Don’t forget that life is impossible without Jesus.
