I AM A CHRISTIAN

The least I can do to remember Dr Maya Angelou is to post one of her most powerful poem entitled I Am A Christian, apart from the poem resonating with my sentiments, it is also a spiritual awakening, inspiration, introspection and forward thinking about our journey in the Lord. This poem kinda take off pressure from our shoulders, not that we need to live recklessly though. But it paints a wonderful picture of our lives. She is the author of many other great work such as Phenomenal Woman, Still I Rise etc..Enjoy reading I am a Christian...

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin."

I'm whispering "I was lost,"

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.

RIP DR MAYA ANGELOU
