Christians Aren't Perfect

 

What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8

 

I was given a button by a friend who probably thought I needed it more than he did. It says,

 

Christians aren't perfect, just forgiven.

 

Anybody here perfect? Have you kept all the laws and rules and regulations at your house, at school, on the road, all the do's and don'ts of life and every law you have ever read in your life? My kids have a perfect way of answering this...

 

I don't think so!

 

We try our best, but our best is not perfect. But Jesus is perfect and we know Jesus and Jesus helps us to become the very best we can be.

 

Prayer
Jesus, you invite us to follow in your footsteps. We find it hard going much of the time and we need your light to lead us, your hand to hold us, and your love to complete us. Amen.
