A vent.
I've recently been reminded that as a Christian, I am indeed a perfect super human!!!! I have perfect love. Am completely forgiving. I show grace and mercy to all. And would you believe that I don't sin!?
...well that's what some people think. And when you aren't a Jesus clone, when you miss the mark of perfection you are marked-
a hypocrite
a poor Christian
a poor excuse for a human being
a selfish individual
no better than scum on the bottom of a shoe
Why yes, you who marks, you are correct. I'm not perfect, because I'm not Jesus. He is the ONLY human that can claim that.
I truly wish that people didn't expect me to be Jesus. Expect perfection out of those that seek His face. As a Christian, my number one priority is to love God and seek His will in all I do. End of story.
It doesn't mean that I will always succeed. It doesn't mean I'm perfect or trying to be. It doesn't mean I don't sin. It doesn't mean I always make the right choice. And I don't claim any of those things either.
I wear one mark. It's the only mark I will acknowledge by the only One authorized to mark a person.
I wear the mark of LOVED from our maker.
A forever love that includes sweet mercy, unending forgiveness, and so much more.
Your marks don't hurt me. I already know I'm not perfect. :)
