Perfect

34
I'm sorry. I'm sorry I'm not perfect.

I try, I really do...sometimes.

It's not just because I don't think I can, it's just somehow impossible.

I'm sarcastic. I tease *just* to get a reaction out of you.

I love needling little comments that jab at your heart. I'm a heart-jabber.

I yell. I enjoy the rush of adrenaline that comes with a yelling match. I'm triumphant when I brilliantly come up with, on the spot, a string of insulting words that will leave you sputtering.

I'm judgmental. This is probably my worst fault. It really needs no introduction. I judge you, what you do and how you do it.

I bet that girl over there is perfect. Isn't that what the world tells us? To be perfect? An impossible standard for sure.

I could go on and on and on.

I am a SINNER.

But I am honest with myself about my shortcomings.

And I am saved by the Body and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

So I'd get off your high horse and come grovel with me on the ground, because guess what?

YOU'RE a sinner too.
