the truth about being me being a Christian

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 that 'I am a Christian', I am not shouting that I am clean living. I'm whispering I was lost, but 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 needed 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 am 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!

I got this as an e-mail today. It sums me up. Hopefully it describes you a little bit also. God is so great and everything is about him.
