A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.
When I say that 'I am a Christian', I am not shouting that 'I am clean living. I'm whispering 'I was lost, but now I'm found and forgiven.'
When I say 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ 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 need His strength to carry on.
When I say 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.
When I say 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect. My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.
When I say 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.
When I say 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou, I'm just a simple sinner who received God's good grace, somehow!
Pretty is as Pretty does but, Beautiful is just plain Beautiful.
Be a blessing, be blessed!
What a beautiful poem, Cecilia! did you write it? I love your blog - especially your "About Me." Thank you for your love and encouragement. You are truly a blessing in my life. Keep writing!
ReplyDeleteThe poem was something my mother in law sent to me. I thought it was beautiful! Something ALL women should have in their back pocket. I hope I do this blog stuff right.. and make you proud :) XOXO
