Christians

"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!

That was awsome!

Nice poetry, it's good you're where you want to be.

Do you write, or was this an inspirational moment?

amen
that was so beautiful, and truthful

thanks walker im glad you liked it....but I must give the credit where the credit is to to Maya Angelou my true inspiration.

another one......pulling up the archives.

I heard a message about a person who saw a lamb being slaughtered. She said the lamb never tried to get away...instead...the lamb licked up the blood spilled on the arm of the man who was holding it.

I asked God ...what does it take to be that gentle? He said TOTAL surrender.

Surrender our resistance...our depressions...our unfaithfulness...our addictions...our besetting sins...our marital strife...financial strife... Job stress...fears...anger... & anything else....to Jesus...our gentle Lamb of God.

Jesus said His burden is light..no matter your problem...His burden is light. He never tires of us or gets weary... Jesus is our great Sheppard. He found us when we were lost.

thanks for sharing...

Loved that....thank you for the share....

or help her find herself

How sad. I'll never eat lambchops.

true.

"A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
that a man should have to seek Him first to find her."

Amen

I found this one to be a bit ironic. Back in the biblical days women didn’t have much choice in the matter, they were pretty much just fixed up with a mate for life and didn’t have much to say about it.

The freedom of modern day women is actually quite contradictory to the biblical teachings. Modern day women have rebellious women to thank for their modern day freedoms.

Not that I’m complaining. I would be the first to support freedom. I just think it’s ironic that modern day Christianity is so different from what the actual doctrine teaches. The actual doctrine was quite male-chauvinistic, and as far as I can tell it still is. The biblical story never really liberated women. They liberated themselves from the old traditions, yet they continue to cling to the very doctrine that not merely condoned for their oppression but actually proclaimed it to be the wishes of God himself.

you have to be one to know what one knows, abra.

it is not about what you read and think of what you read.

It is about walking with God and then consequently recognizing others that walk with God.

Then , and if, the Lord so identifies with the attraction and places Himself in the midst.....

...well, you just have to be there to know what the meaning of that really is.

peace.

don't women with their hearts hidden in Christ becomes Nuns
