Falling in Love

"Falling in love is an effort to retrieve Paradise, that dimension of bliss where no one is blamed for anything, and everyone is fully appreciated for who they are. What we see when we fall in love is not illusion, but truth. We want to fall in love because we want so much to return to God."
-Marianne Williamson

BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIAN WOMAN

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 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!
