Dear friends and families,
Hope you all are doing well, I was talking with someone and giving them all the information about the Brunswick Church Community and also that I am a Christian and wanted to let you know that we are here to help you if you need it. After the response I received, I was walking and thinking lots of things about all of my brothers and sisters who are still not aware of the real meaning of Christianity.
I was reading this poem and wanted to share with you all about what is the meaning of the word Christian.
When I say, 'I am a Christian'
I’m not shouting, I’ve been saved!
I’m whispering, ‘I get lost!
That’s why I chose this way.
When I say, ‘I am a Christian’
I don’t speak with human pride
I’m confessing that I stumble
Needing God 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 that I’ve failed
And cannot ever pay the debt.
When I say, ‘I am a Christian’
I don’t think I know it all
I submit to my confusion
Asking humbly to be taught.
When I say, ‘I am a Christian’
I’m not claiming to be perfect
My flaws are all 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 heartache,
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
and I’m loved by Jesus Christ.
May we always tell others and never stop, that yes, we are Christian and will be till the last breath of our lives. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
Loving God,
Though our destination is not yet clear,
May we trust in Your graceful promises;
Though we are uncertain of ourselves,
May we be rooted in Your loving regard;
Though our attention is inclined to wander,
May we hear the things You are saying;
Though we often neglect Your influence,
May we be convicted of Your power to change,
In Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
Have a blessed day.
