When I say "I Am A Christian"

I got this via email today and just had to share...

When I say, “I am a Christian”
~ Author Unknown

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not shouting, “I am saved!”
I am whispering, “I was lost.
And now I’ve chosen His way.”

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I don’t boast with pride,
I’m confessing that I stumble,
And need God to be my guide.

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not trying to be strong,
I’m professing that I am 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 can never repay the debt.

When I say, “I am a Christian,”
I don’t think I know it all.
I submit to the Lord in my confusion
And ask humbly to be taught.

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not claiming to be perfect;
My flaws are visible
But God believes I am worth it.

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I feel no less the sting of pain;
I have my share of heartaches,
Which is why I seek His name.

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I really do not wish to judge.
I have no authority to do so;
I only know that I am loved.
