I am Christian… but I am human

I remember when a few people said something to me that really got to me, they said, “That wasn’t very Christian of you” about some things I did and said.

Since when did I ever say because I am Christian that I am perfect?
What, because I go to church? Please,if I sit in a garage, does that make me a car?
No, I am human, I am not perfect. Hello, did you read my blog? I get mad, I curse, I break all kinds of commandments, come on!!
Don’t put me up on a pedestal because I praise God or speak of his greatness in my blogs. That does not make me holier than thou. That makes me a believer, that’s all.

That is the problem with people today, especially people who go to church. They feel that they are better than others, that they have to be perfect after all, “we” go to church. No, my bishop says we are all sick and broken, and we come to church to be healed. That is why I started going, I was broken, and I needed help, Hell, I still need help,and lots of it. I will never be perfect even if I go to church 24/7 because I am human first.

So for all of you out there who point the finger at me and say, “But you’re a Christian.” Get over it, I am just a person trying to be the best person I can be. I try to use this gift God gave me, this gift to serve others, to try to help others with my gift of words. I speak of God and all he has done for me because I am so grateful and hope others can find this feeling of peace and joy in their lives. I do this because I hope one day to be standing in front of him and for him to say, “Well done, my child, well done.”

So today, my friends, I will leave you with this… all of Jesus’ apostles were not “great and holy”. Most were sinners who were trying to change and still fell short. Even Moses was a killer. He took in prostitutes, liars, and cheaters. Yet they were still trying their best even though they would never be “perfect Christians”
So do me a favor, don’t point fingers…I am just a human trying my hardest to be “Christ like,” that’s all.
