Happy Monday everyone!
I created this beautiful cross and heart key bracelet a few days ago.
Available at: A Woman's Heart Bracelet
When writing a description for the bracelet I was looking for a quote that would fit and one came to mind:
"A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
that a man should have to seek Him first to find her."
that a man should have to seek Him first to find her."
So I began to search on the internet and saw that this is linked to beautiful poem said to be by Maya Angelou but is actually by Carol Wimmer.
I actually ended up finding out that the quote is by author, Max Lucado!
Christians
by Carol Wimmer
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!
This is such a beautiful poem and has me wanting to write again! God are you trying to tell me something??? Lol! Think I will try to find some time this week and come up with something for ya!
Have a great week everyone!
~Be beautiful, inspired, and blessed!
