The next time someone says........

"I thought you were supposed to be a Christian,"keep this in mind:

When I say "I am a Christian"...
I'm not shouting "I'm clean living!"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 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, and 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.

livin' by god's grace.
