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.
