by Maya Angelou
‘A woman’s heart should be so hidden in Christ
that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.’
When I say… ‘I am a Christian’ I’m not shouting ‘I’m clean livin”
I’m whispering ‘I was lost, 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!
Pretty is as Pretty does… but beautiful is just plain beautiful!

Simply said,I am a sinner,born into a world of sin and my life is a filty mess without he GRACE of my Jesus,I would be forever lost.I praise Jesus as I look to the cross.I am saved by grace.My sins cast as far as the east is from the west,Praise God,I am saved.
All Heaven sings praises when someone accepts Jesus into their hearts..
Jesus is the answer every time!
I can really identify with this verse. I’d love to know where it’s origin might be found; that is is it part of another work or hers?
Beautifuly described about real Christian . . .
Every person who think that he is Christian should be like that.
God Bless You . . .
