Christian Women

  • Our dear friend KAREN from 3FC sent this to Angie through my e-mail.

    Thank you for being a part of my life. Friendships are precious and
    appreciated, more so as time passes by and those true friendships continue
    to exist after many years of still being there for each other.

    Christians

    by 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!
    somehow!

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


    TODAY IS BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIAN SISTERS DAY

    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.
  • Isn't that a lovely message? Someone sent that to me recently too; so I sent it around to all my friends and family. Thanks for sharing it here on 3fc for everyone to see ... Rosebud.
  • What a lovely poem and I have never been a fan of Maya Angelou.
