My aunt sent me the following email message yesterday. I thought it was so great that I had to post it on here. Enjoy!
"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!
