When I say "I'm a Chistian"

When I say "I'm a Christian"

I'm not shouting, "I've been saved!"

I'm whispering, "I get lost!

That's why I chose this way."

When I say "I'm a Christian"

I don't speak with human pride 

I'm confessing that I stumble-

Needing God to be my guide

When I say "I'm 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'm a Christian"

I'm not bragging of success

I'm admitting that I've failed

And cannot ever pay that debt.

What I say "I'm a Christian"

I don't think I know it all

I submit to my confusion 

Asking humbly to be taught.

What I say "I'm a Christian"

I'm not claiming to be perfect

My flaws are all too visible

But God believes I'm worth it!

What I say "I'm a Christian"

I still feel the sting of pain

I have my share of heartache,

which is why I seek His name.

What I say "I'm a Christian"

I do not wish to judge

I have no authority...

I ONLY KNOW I'M LOVED

This poem is really personal to me. Earlier this week I was searching inner peace and unconditional love and I reviewed my personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. I don't really know what brought me to write this poem. But I hope you enjoyed reading it.
