BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIAN SISTER By Maya Angelou

[hismercy (deleted)]

'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 living,'
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 CHRISTIAN 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.

`Father let the birds you feed take my prayer to thee.Hear my heart and lift mine eyes to see the wonders of your mighty hand.Let me know of thy lovingkindness even as I know of thy saving grace.Let me see myself as you see me and let my sight be true as I look on those around me.Let me love my neighbor as you have taught me to love myself and let my giving not be seeded in self serving but in true love desiring to see your love in every house and on every face.GBU all Amen.
