BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIAN SISTER<\/font><\/p>\n

By Maya Angelou <\/font><\/p>\n

‘A woman’s heart should be so hidden in Christ
\nThat a man should have to seek Him first to find her.’ <\/font><\/p>\n

When I say… "I am a Christian"
\nI’m not shouting "I’m clean livin”
\nI’m whispering ‘I was lost,
\nNow I’m found and forgiven.’<\/font><\/p>\n

When I say… "I am a Christian"
\nI don’t speak of this with pride.
\nI’m confessing that I stumble
\nand need Christ to be my guide.<\/font><\/p>\n

When I say… "I am a Christian"
\nI’m not trying to be strong.
\nI’m professing that I’m weak and
\nneed His strength to carry on.<\/font><\/p>\n

When I say… "I am a Christian"
\nI’m not bragging of success.
\nI’m admitting I have failed and
\nneed God to clean my mess.<\/font><\/p>\n

When I say… "I am a Christian"
\nI’m not claiming to be perfect,
\nMy flaws are far too visible but,
\nGod believes I am worth it.<\/font><\/p>\n

When I say… "I am a Christian"
\nI still feel the sting of pain…
\nI have my share of heartaches,
\nso I call upon His name.<\/font><\/p>\n

When I say… "I am a Christian"
\nI’m not holier than thou,
\nI’m just a simple sinner
\nWho received God’s good grace, somehow!
