Why is that as humans, we filter what we say and do when we are around Christians but the second we are around others we no long filter ourselves? Why do we expect perfection from Christians?
Micah J. Murray, a writer, says it perfectly in his article "I Don't Have My Shit Together." He writes, "I don't want to be a Christian writer if it means that we need to act like we have all our shit together. Because the truth is, we don't."
I have never understood why people think that Christians are perfect. Christians are humans too. Everyone is human.
Most days, I don't have my shit together. I snooze my alarm 5 or 6 times, forget to brush my teeth, often times find myself complaining about things that really don't matter, and the list goes on and on.
I am not perfect but I will proudly say that I am Christian. Please don't expect Christians to be perfect. We are all human.
"Perfect people aren't real and real people aren't perfect. So, you can either love people for their flaws or hate them because they're real."
