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! Maya Angelou "A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her." (My favorite line!)
I love all of Maya Angelou's work. I adore her little book, AMAZING PEACE A Christmas Poem. I keep it out all year long. I think of some of you when I read her words, "Peace, My Brother. Peace, My Sister, Peace, My Soul. Beth
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. Maya Angelou I just wanted to add this quote of hers. It is so true.
