  BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIAN SISTER

   

  by Maya Angelou

   

  '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!


  Sugar Says:
  People are like stained glass windows:  They sparkle and shine when the sun 
is out,
   But when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there 
is a light shining from within.
