When I say... "I am a Christian" By Maya Angelou

3/20/2015

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!

Haters By Maya Angelou.

A hater is someone who is jealous and envious and spends all their
time trying to make you look small so they can look tall.
They are very negative people to say the least.  Nothing is everR
good enough!

When you make your mark, you will always attract some haters...

That's why you have to be careful with whom you share your
blessings and your dreams, because some folk can't handle seeing
you blessed...

It's dangerous to be like somebody else... If God wanted you to be
like somebody else, He would have given you what He gave them!  Right?

You never know what people have gone through to get what they
have...

The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory, but they
don't know my story...

If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, you
can rest assured that the water bill is higher there too!

We've all got some haters among us!

Some people envy you because you can:
     a) Have a relationship with God
     b) Light up a room when you walk in
     c) Start your own business
     d) Tell a man/woman to hit the curb (if he/she isn't about the right thing)
     e) Raise your children without both parents being in the home

Haters can't stand to see you happy.
Haters will never want to see you succeed.
Most of our haters are people who are supposed to be on our side.

How do you handle your undercover haters?
You can handle these haters by:

           1. Knowing who you are & who your true friends are
               *(VERY IMPORTANT!!)

           2. Having a purpose to your life: Purpose does not
               mean having a job. You can have a job and still be
               unfulfilled.

A purpose is having a clear sense of what God has called you to be.
Your purpose is not defined by what others think about you.

           3. By remembering what you have is by divine
                   prerogative and not human manipulation.

Fulfill your dreams!  You only have one life to live...when its your
time to leave this earth, you want to be able to say, 'I've lived my
life and fulfilled my dreams, Now I'm ready to go HOME!

When God gives you favor, you can tell your haters, 'Don't look at
me...Look at who is in charge of me...'



                     Maya Angelou
  "Love your enemies for they are your mirror to reality..."
"Just look around you and you'll definitely see them"

Pass this to all of your family & friends who you know are not hating on you including the person who sent it to you.  
     

If you don't get it back, maybe you called somebody out!

Don't worry about it, it's not your problem, it's theirs..  
Just pray for them, that their life can be as fulfilled as
yours! Watch out for Haters...BUT most of all don't become
a HATER!
     

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'
