You know, alot of people wonder about this thing we call christianity/salvation/born-again etc etc, and many people have a lot of stereotypes about christians. Well, i am a proud born-again christian... and i think the poem below does a good job of defining what christianity is all about. I am very far from perfect, but God is the definition of my life, and i dont know what i would do without Him. He helps me do better and better everyday. Enjoy!

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!
