WHEN I SAY, "I AM A CHRISTIAN" by Carol Wimmer

When I say..."I am a Christian", 
I'm not shouting "I am saved";
I'm whispering "I get lost!"
"That 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 someone 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.

When I say..."I am a Christian",
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed,
and cannot ever 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 seek His name.

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