Hi, my name is Beth Kinser, I am a Christian and I am not perfect.

 I mess up.  I sin.  I lie.  I fall short of perfect everyday of my life.

I am not perfect.

I break the ten simple rules that my Father gave me.  I fail Him every single day.

I am not perfect.

I have put other people and other things before my Savior.  I have cheated.  I have idols.

I am not perfect.

I don't always pay attention during church.  I get distracted when I pray or read His Word.  I try to to read the Bible everyday, but I don't.

I am not perfect.

I try to be the best I can be, but the more I try on my own, the more I fail.  My thoughts are of this world; they are not always holy.

I am not perfect.

I do all of this and more.  I have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

I am not perfect.

I am not perfect, but He still loves me anyway.

I fall and He picks me up.  I hurt and He comforts me.  I feel weak and He carries me.  I don't know what to do and He guides me.  I feel lost and He directs me.

He continues to provide for me, despite my constant failures.

He calls me His daughter, though I don't deserve it.

I am not perfect.

I am not perfect, yet He still chooses to care for me.

I am not worthy of any of His grace and love, but yet I still am given it.

I am not perfect!

My name is Beth Kinser, I am a Christian and I am not perfect...

But I am forgiven!
