"I Am A Christian" Poem...

For this Sunday, I found, on LinkedIn, this poem that someone shared. It's interesting to me. It's by Carol Wimmer. What do you think?


WHEN I SAY, "I AM A CHRISTIAN"

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not shouting, “I’ve been saved!”
I’m whispering, “I get lost sometimes
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 God’s name
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I do not wish to judge
I have no authority
I only know I’m loved

 I think the first verses I probably disagree with. I'm very happy to be saved!

  1. I agree about the first part, we should be bold and proud of our salvation, as that's what the gospel is centered around. This is a good daily reminder. Thanks for sharing.
