In His Grace

當我說我是基督徒時......
When I say..."I am a Christian"

作者:佚名

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I am saved"
I'm whispering "I get lost!"
"That is why I chose this way."

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need someone 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 I have failed and cannot ever pay the debt.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are 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 heartaches 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.

當我說我是基督徒時
我並不是在叫喊著 "我是得救的"
而是在低聲的說 "我曾經迷失過"
"所以我選擇了這條路"

當我說我是基督徒時
並不是因為我覺得比你高一等
而是承認我一直在蹣跚而行
所以我需要一位生命中的嚮導

當我說我是基督徒時
我並不是在顯示自己很強壯
而是在承認自己的軟弱
並禱告尋求繼續前進的力量

當我說我是基督徒時
我並不是在吹噓我的成功
而是承認自己的失敗
並且沒有能力償還所背負的債

當我說我是基督徒時
我並不是在自我宣稱我是完美的
而是讓你看到我生命中的瑕疵是這麼的明顯
但神相信我是有價值的

當我說我是基督徒時
我還是會感到痛如針刺般
但我有神來分擔我的心痛
所以我會繼續尋求祂的面

當我說我是基督徒時
我並不是在評價你
因為我沒有那樣的權柄
我只知道我是被愛的
