Day 15 - God Spot

Tonight for the first time ever, I did a God Spot at Taurima Hostel.

For those who don't know what a God Spot is, its like a five-ten minute talk/devotion which is shared four nights a week at dinnertime in the hostel. Usually at the start of the year a God Spot is done by just the staff or residents but as the year progresses, residents are more than welcome to do a God Spot if they so desire.

So I just thought that I would include in here what I did for my God Spot. I even asked everyone to stop eating, close their eyes and think about what being a Christian means to them in their lives.

"When I say..."I am a Christian"

I'm not shouting "I am saved"

I'm whispering "I was lost"

That is why I chose this way.

When I say..."I am a Christian"

I don't speak of this with pride.

I'm confessing that I stumble

And need someone 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 pray for strength to carry on.

When I say..."I am a Christian"

I'm not bragging of success.

I'm admitting I have failed

And cannot ever pay the debt.

When I say..."I am a Christian"

I'm not claiming to be perfect,

My flaws are all too visible,

But God believes I'm worth it.

When I say..."I am a Christian"

I still feel the sting of pain

I have my share of heartaches

Which is why I speak His name.

When I say..."I am a Christian"

I do not wish to judge.

I have no authority.

I only know I'm loved."
