Beautiful Christian Sister
By Maya Angelou
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..."I'm a Christian, I'm not shouting I'm clean living.
I'm whispering "I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven."
When I say...I am a Christian, I don't speak this with pride
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be by 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 to 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!!!
Pretty is as Pretty does... But beautiful is just plain beautiful!!!!
I was sent this via email from a special friend and felt it spoke volumes, maybe it will boost another woman's self esteem so she will know she is cared about. Pass it on if you like.

This poem was in a church bulletin a long time ago. I cut it out and it's on the cork board still. It's great....Kae

That a man should have to seek Him first to find her. Thank you for sharing these.

I am going to be speaking tomorrow and taping a television show about our son's death, drinking and driving.
Would you please pray for me? The taping begins in front of a live audience at 2 p.m. eastern time.
The line about the "sting of pain" and calling upon His Name is where I am at right now.
I know God will hold me up.
