Moral Integrity In Question....

Though I am a Christian, as the following poem states, this does not mean, by any stretch of the imagination that I am in any way perfect.


WHEN I SAY, "I AM A 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

As you can see, though I do say that "I am a Christian." this does not mean anything other than the fact that my sins are forgiven. It also does not mean that I am free of sin. I have been engaging in a behavior, recently, that any true Christian would be hard pressed not to consider sinful. This is part of the reason for my most recent absence. Though I am not yet ready to share what I have done, and in fact, do not know if I will ever be led to share it, I am led to take some time away from blogging and ministering to others. I do not know how long my absence will last, but I do know I need to take some time to get back into the Word, and to re-establish my relationship with God. I would ask for all of your prayers, as my life is in turmoil right now. I thank you in advance, and I also thank God for each and every one of you, my dear brothers and sisters in Christ. For those of you that have been checking up on me, I also thank you. You have been a balm to my heart. Blessings to all of you, until I "see" you again.

There is no "MORE" to this post.
