Sorry, about the grammer. I hear it eats people up inside. My friend Austi has that problem along with her friend, Draper. So this journal entry is a poem by some person I forget the name of. It also is somthing to think about. Thank you for everyone that reads my journal
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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!
When I say "I am a Christian"
I believe Jesus suffered and died for my sins
paid my debt in full and rose again
I believed and received Him as my Savior
He gave me a new birth, a brand new life
He gave me a new purpose and power in life
He gave me a deep love for God and you
He will give you the same, why not receive him too
So When you say, 'I am a Christian' ~What do you mean?
