My firend told me, we Christian must forgive others mistake....No, No. No, I disagree, my dear friend. Even you are not Christian, you should also forgive others. Forgive doesn't means you are Christian. And if you are non christian, doesn't mean you no need to forgive.......
Is this what Christian really means to you? Merely just `forgive'?
The following poem by May Angelou, explains what Christian really means.... and I absolutely agreed..... This is what Christian really means....agreed?????
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!

was randomly sufing the internet and then i somehow found your blog... interesting blog post you have here..
agree with what you have mentioned in this blogpost though.. the poem is good ,make sense.
I'm a christian myself. and often at times people do expect me to be somewhat a saint? (specially when my father is a leader).. while the truth is I'm still a human and there are times where I'll lash out my anger and might even spit out vulgarities. I'm still learning on how to have a better self control and all..
not easy being human eh?
anyhow i would like to ask, do you mind if i publish this blog post of yours on my blog?or maybe just the poem?I have never came across anyone with the name May Angelou so I figured might be some friend of yours?
