When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not shouting, I'm saved by my own deeds-- I'm whispering, I get lost! That is why I chose this way.
When I say ... "I am a Christian" I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need someone 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'm not claiming to be perfect. My flaws are way 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 heartaches 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!
I think this gives a very humble and simple description of how Christians too suffer the pains, hardships, and consequences of this world. Only, we find hope in Christ and not from the temporary pleasures this world advertises as an eternal answer.
Until next time, we are in the world but not of it...HB
