When I say, "I am a Christian" (Author Unknown)

_When I say, “I am a Christian"

_Reposting from my son, Jacob Cooley who got it from a friend. It is not my work but I had to share because it is how I feel. Thank you to whomever wrote it and if that is you let me know and I will add your name to the post.

When I say, “I am 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 am 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 am 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 am a Christian” I’m not bragging of success I’m admitting that I’ve failed and cannot ever pay the debt

When I say, “I am a Christian” I don’t think I know it all I submit to my confusion asking humbly to be taught

When I say, “I am a Christian” I’m not claiming to be perfect My flaws are far 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 heartache which is why I seek His name

When I say, "I am a Christian" I'm not Holier than thou, I'm just a simple sinner who receives God's simple Grace.

Thank you Jesus for all you have done and will do for each of us. I love you
