Life Through Lenses

I have this on my tumblr.

When I say I am a Christian,

I'm not shouting that I'm clean living,

But I'm whispering I was lost,

but now found and forgiven

When I say I am a Christian,

I don't speak of it as pride.

I'm confessing I do stumble,

and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say I am a Christian,

I'm not trying to say I am strong.

I'm professing that I am weak,

and need His strength to carry on.

When I say I am a Christian,

I am not bragging about success.

I am admitting I have failed,

and need Christ to clean my mess.

When I say I am a Christian,

I am 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 am not saying I am holier than thou.

I am just a simple sinner,

who received God's grace, somehow.

Beautiful.
