When I say ....I am a Christian



When I say ... "I am a Christian"

I'm not shouting, "I'm 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 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!

Can I really do this? Am I good enough? Will this project work out? Can I ever get this job/contract? How would I know the right man?  These and other undisclosed intimate questions have been fighting for a space in my mind lately breeding fear, worry and anxiety. I do understand and believe that I have a father who cares greatly for me. I Peter 5 vs 7 spells it out “ cast all our burdens on him because He cares ” but why do I still worry about life issues? Why do I get depressed when am not going at the pace I planned or getting the desired results? Why does it seem like a dead end sometimes?  It’s simply because I still wear my pride like a badge and cherish it. Pride and Anxiety come in a full package. What’s the correlation between the two words Anxiety and Pride, you may ask? Just look at the two words, what is the letter in the middle of both of them “I”. A symbol of self. The truth is that you are anxious because you bear burdens not meant for you. Phil 4 ...

Before You Date Someone

Image
‘Listen for God’s voice … he’s the one who will keep you on track.’ Proverbs 3:6 Before you date somebody, ask yourself: 1) Am I free to be who I am? Paul writes, ‘Let’s just go ahead and be what we were made to be’ (Romans 12:6 MSG). If you have to reinvent yourself to keep somebody happy, you’re in the wrong relationship. If they disapprove of you now, do you seriously think marriage will improve things? Not a chance!
