TIME FOR A POEM

When I say, “I am a Christian.”
By Carol Wimmer

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I'm not shouting, “I’ve been saved!”
I'm whispering, “I get lost!
That's why I chose this way.”

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I don't speak with human pride
I'm confessing that I stumble -
Needing God 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 that I've failed
And cannot ever pay the debt.

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I don't think I know it all
I submit to my confusion
Asking humbly to be taught.

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I'm not claiming to be perfect
My flaws are all 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 heartache,
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'm loved

POEM CORNER.

HE IS!

When you are the neediest, He is the most sufficient.
When you are completely helpless, He is the most helpful.
When you feel totally dependent, He is absolutely dependable.
When you are the weakest, He is the most able.
When you are the most alone, He is intimately present.
When you feel you are the least, He is the greatest!
When you feel the most useless, He is preparing you.
When it is darkest, He is the only Light you need.
When you feel the least secure, He is your Rock and Fortress.
When you are the most humble, He is most gracious.
When you say that you cannot, remember that He can!
