I Am A Christian

I am a proud Christian. And i came across of this poem and i am inspired to post this on my blog. I don't know who is the Author of this but i give you credit for this piece. You speak the truth and it inspires me.

"I AM A CHRISTIAN"

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, the way anyone else can!

Start with four steps:

I was pissed off one day with my boss and the other boss who handles the system I was developing. It came to me at that moment that I don’t want to work with them anymore and I want to relocate myself to the other company. Others thought that it was just a mere situation for me to over react like that. But for me its big thing, for almost 2 year I’ve been working with that system and until now it was not implemented because they have changed minds. One day they want this to be like that and the following day they want the other way. I was feed up, feed up by their unpredictable minds, feed up with working with them, and feed up with my system. I want to have a career growth I desperately want to find a good boss. The one with principles, one with good heart, one with firm decision.

Sad thing about that week is they want me to start all over again. The efforts I made for the past year has been wasted as well as my time. That moment I keep on asking the Lord if He is stretching me how long will it takes. Everyday I pray for the revelations, what is His big plan for me and for my career? I have no power over the things because I am just an employee. Whatever my boss will tell me I should obey that is why I was so upset I have no voice over them. Then I decided to surrender everything to the Lord, my plans, my work, my life. Then it came Friday morning of the following week I receive a message thru Gods word that one should not grumble nor complain in anything. I was convicted with that word but still I ask the Lord for the grace to sustain the pressure. Then came afternoon I extend my stay in office because I chatted my friend still complaining with my ordeal. Then suddenly a chat window popped up from nowhere I don’t know the user handle for sure it’s a stranger. The window flashes me with his message ‘Start with 4 steps’ I follow through the items 1 to 4. Each items weight more than I expected, right there and then I cried out to the Lord this are the answers to all my questions for this past few weeks. You have used this person to send me this message and I was relieved, my burden was lighten. Then I ask this stranger and he was a brother from Sri Lanka, what he just did was it just came to him, he search the key work ‘Joy’ then many were the result but timely he chooses to prompt me with the 4 steps and I was blessed.I Believe firmly that the Lord hear my cries and sent me this person to bless me and to give me His word, His answers, His comfort.

I know every one of us has different issues, maybe in work, in the family, financially, romantically but I want each one of you to hang on don’t loose your faith to the Lord. He has all the answers to your question just ask Him and He will be listening because nothing is impossible with HIM. I want to share the 4 steps maybe you will find it helpful and you might be blessed as it blessed me during my ordeal.

Start with four Steps:

1. Come as you are right now to the Lord. Tell him all your feelings,( be it joy, anger, hate, jealousy, feelings of insecurity, ego, etc ) - EVERYTHING - from the core of your heart.
2. Hand over to the Lord the blockages that hinder your path to his Holy anointing - things you want to change but have no power to change.
3. Surrender your life to the Lord - not by mere words, but from the depths of your soul - give Him the complete control of your life.
4. Wait in silent communion with the Lord in that state of surrender and the Lord will speak to you and you will be filled with the “Holy Spirit”

John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, he {God} is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all

Your time Starts now. God Bless you all.
