I Am Not Perfect

A quick spoken word

I am a daughter of God, but in no way am I perfect.

I am not a perfect daughter nor will I be a perfect bride.

I’m afraid to admit that the reflection I see might not even really be me.

But He loves me and He needs me.

He needs me to work in His name,

To be everything I can be and should be.

I am not perfect.

There have been nights when I drink too much or say too much.

 

There have been moments when I let temptation take me to darkness and have to crawl my way back to the light.

I am not perfect.

I get angry at idiots who walk by and can’t seem to keep their tongues in their mouths and their eyes on the road ahead, I show them the bird and read a list of words and phrases I’d be ashamed to hear Him read back to me on judgement day.

I have my regrets and my fair share of burdens, but He takes them all from me.

He is perfect.

'I Am Not Perfect'
azealeablue,
The above title is beautiful because God has chosen to allow us to be brought into His love because of Christ. Our conscious bears witness when touched by God's voice, such as, "Are you sure that is a right thought, action,"etc. We are created with the design to be found, saved and lifted from our place of inner pain. Somehow people know when things are not right and can become calloused and hardened too when the choice is made to turn away and reject Chris't call. Oh, we need to be loved. Christ's love is so perfect.
good poem.

There is only one perfect and regardless of how hard we strive for perfection we don't reach it... but He remains :)
