"I am A Christian"

I didn't write this, but I know it's true!

When I say, "I Am A Christian" ... I am not screaming that I am HOLY! - I am only whispering that I was lost and now I am found and forgiven.

When I say, "I Am A Christian" ... I am not saying this with pride. I am only confessing that I slip and I am a sinner and I need Christ to guide me.

When I say, "I Am A Christian" ... I am not trying to be strong. I only confess that I am weak and to continue my life I need His Power.

When I say, "I Am A Christian" ... I am not proud of my achievements. I only accept that I have failed and need God to fix my life and my wrong doings.

When I say, "I Am A Christian" ... I am not claiming to be perfect. My weakness and failures are obvious, but God values me.

-----------------

The idea that we are Holy, Confident in out abilities, Strong, Achieved, and Perfect is something that each and everyone of us wants to be able to say with confidence.
But, we can't and we shouldn't.
Some many times we as Christians forget that what the world thinks of us.
Some many times we as Christians give the world the impression that we are Holy, Prideful, Strong, Achieved, and Perfect.
If the would tells you that enough times... you start to believe it.
The author so eloquently reminds us to put God back up on the throne where He belong.
Let us tell the world exactly what it means to be "A Christian!
