this one may be a shock to some of you based on my sarcasm & sense of humor. Yes, I love me some Jesus. I am not a perfect Christian woman, I'm a work in progress & I love Jesus for His sacrifice for me.
There are so many things I can say but I think I'll keep it simple by saying He loves me, faults & all. He loves you faults & all, maybe we should all try to do the same. In my world He's a savior of love, not hate. So if ya wanna preach hate...move on please, you're opinion is not needed here.
The following, by Ms. Maya Angelou, very accurately describes my relationship with Jesus & His Father, my Father.
I'M A CHRISTIAN By Maya Angelou
I'M A CHRISTIAN By Maya Angelou
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.
