I wanted to share this with my sisters here........Love you all!
BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIAN SISTER
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 living,'
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!

How beautiful and isn't it wonderful to know that we are forgiven, cleansed and come out whole and are a new creation! Praise the Lord.
Merry Christmas to you Jerrilyn and all your family.
Love and blessings Chris

Amen to this. This is just wonderful. So many times people feel we are holier than thou, but as mentioned here we are sinners saved by grace. Praise the Lord for His mercy and grace. Have a blessed Christmas. In Christ, Judy *4U
