(John 3:8 KJV) The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

[ This is a poem sent me by Marilyn, a Sister in Christ:]

When I say, "I am a Christian"

(author unknown) 

When I say..."I am a Christian" I don't speak of pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need someone 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 pray for strength to carry on. 

When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and cannot ever pay the debt. 

When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not claiming to be perfect, 
my flaws are too visible but God believes I'm worth it. 

When I say..."I am a Christian" I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches which is why I seek His name. 

When I say..."I am a Christian" I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority. I only know I am Loved.
