Christians by Maya Angelou
This is Beautiful, 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!
Pretty is as Pretty does… but beautiful is just plain beautiful!
TODAY IS BEAUTIFUL SISTERS DAY
TAG; YOU’RE IT!
I’m supposed to send this to BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, and you are one of them!!!
If you share this with other women,
you will boost another woman’s self esteem,
and she will know that you care about her.
(Send to the men you care about too!)

I agree that this is a beautiful poem; however it was actual written by Carol Wimmer
in 1988 http://www.carolwimmer.com/
and the quote at the beginning came from Max Lucado
