Because I Am A Christian...

Because I am a Christian, it does not mean I am perfect. I have my share of struggles too.

Because I am a Christian, it does not mean I know what I am supposed to do in life. I'm still looking for what I am called to do.

Because I am a Christian, it does not mean my life is boring. I can have fun too.

Because I am a Christian, it does not mean I have the answers to everything. There are some things I will never know.

Because I am a Christian, it does not mean I am intolerant. I realize that people will have different views, but that doesn't mean I won't say my own.

Because I am a Christian, I try to make God the center of my life. Everything else comes after.

Because I am a Christian, I treat life with respect. Everyone from the unborn up is precious in His sight.

Because I am a Christian, I strive to be holy, or simply "the best version of myself". Each and every day, I have a choice of how I will be who God wants me to be.

Because I am a Christian, I love everyone. Love just means willing the good of others before myself.

Why am I a Christian?

I am a Christian because it is my choice. Nobody can force me to be one; I am only invited.

I am a Christian because I struggle sometimes. There is no source of hope and strength than that of God.

I am a Christian because I need forgiveness. In forgiveness, there is peace.

I am a Christian because I am weak. I need the strength to carry on.

I am a Christian because I find peace in God. When life is like a hurricane, He is the eye in the center of the storm.

I am a Christian because I want to do God's will. I want be everything I am meant to be.

I am a Christian because I need guidance. In prayer, I can more fully know what I am to do.

I am a Christian because I am not perfect. I have need of a Savior.

I am a Christian because I believe. I believe in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, and that Jesus died and rose again so that we may have eternal life.

Why are you a Christian?
