WHEN I SAY, "I AM A CHRISTIAN"


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

Do you have any that have been of great value to you in your daily walk as a Christian? If so what are they? I have several:


Proverbs 3:1-8

My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. Trust in the LORD, and do good; [so] shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass.
---------------------------------------------------------


Isaiah 41:10

Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
---------------------------------------------------------


Hebrews 13:5
[Let your] conversation [be] without covetousness; [and be] content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee
---------------------------------------------------------


Isaiah 50:5-9

The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed
---------------------------------------------------------


Hebrews 12:1-3


Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
