Why Am I a Christian?

Why am I a Christian?

Why not? Why shouldn't I be a Christian? I am a Christian because God has abundant grace. I fall everyday. But God never fails to pick me up. I am my own worst critic. I know sin is wrong but like an addict I keep taking it in. And like an addict I feel the all-consuming sting of guilt and remorse. To tell you I am perfect is not telling you the truth. That would be concealing a greater deception. A greater lie. I am imperfect. That is why I need Jesus Christ. His love and mercy restores the health of my soul. He forgives me and He never loses faith that one day...one majestic, merciful day... I will never fall again.
