Beautiful Christian Women

My friend Bertha Wells sent this:

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 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 am 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 up 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!
