When I say..." I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I am saved"
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 I have failed
and cannot ever pay the debt

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
my flaws are all 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

This poem was shared by a teacher during morning Scripture reading in school :) Let us never forget God's grace and love working in our lives, and trust in Him as our guide!

I know a lot of Christian friends who get emo over failure and making mistakes, but I believe as Christians we're not called to be perfect or "holier than thou" to others, but to live our lives the best we can to glorify God and be a good testimony to His name. Let us continue to encourage each other and our friends around us. Our Father in heaven never judges us by our mistakes and failures, but by our hearts, so let's keep our hearts pure and do our best!

Have a great week ahead!
