I AM A CHRISTIAN......WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

I am Christian

When I say that ‘I am a Christian,’ I am not shouting that ‘I am clean living.’ I’m whispering 'I was lost, but 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 am 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 am 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 am 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, 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.
