Whimmer poem, sent to me and I
enjoyed it:
When I say, "I am a
Christian," I'm not shouting, "I've been saved!"
I'm whispering, "I get lost!
That's why I chose this way"
When I say, "I am a
Christian," I don't speak with human pride
I'm confessing that I stumble —
needing God 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 don't think I know it all
I submit to my confusion asking
humbly to be taught
When I say, "I am a
Christian," I'm not claiming to be perfect
My flaws are far 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 heartache 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
