A daily thought to keep you going successfully through your life!

• Beautiful Christian Sister
  by Maya Angelou,   1928 - 2014

  '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... '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!
  
  
  Pretty is as Pretty does...
  but beautiful is just plain beautiful!
