When I say that I am a 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’m 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’m 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’m 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!

今天，我看见自己的不完美，也有这么一瞬间非常懊恼自己的缺陷。然而，我还是感恩。

我并不特别，但祢却是为我舍弃生命的主。=)
