Friend showed this to me and I thoughtI would share:
When I say... "I am a Christian"[/align]I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."[/align]I'm whispering "I was lost,[/align]Now I'm found and forgiven."[/align]When I say... "I am a Christian"[/align]I don't speak of this with pride.[/align]I'm confessing that I stumble[/align]And need Christ to be my guide.[/align]When I say... "I am a Christian"[/align]I'm not trying to be strong.[/align]I'm professing that I'm weak[/align]And need His strength to carry on.[/align]When I say... "I am a Christian"[/align]I'm not bragging of success.[/align]I'm admitting I have failed[/align]And need God to clean my mess.[/align]When I say... "I am a Christian"[/align]I'm not claiming to be perfect,[/align]My flaws are far too visible[/align]But, God believes I am worth it.[/align]When I say... "I am a Christian"[/align]I still feel the sting of pain..[/align]I have my share of heartaches[/align]So I call upon His name.[/align]When I say... "I am a Christian"[/align]I'm not holier than thou,[/align]I'm just a simple sinner[/align]Who received God's good grace, somehow![/align]

Great post, amazing how true that poem is and how a lot of people automatically believe the lie satan plants in their hearts that true Christians believe they are better than others, the best part is if we ever catch our selves in that awful cycle we have help to pull us out.
