Maya Angelou

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