Thoughts of a Sinner

I know that God loves me despite my mistakes, through my mistakes, before and after I make my mistakes. I hate people's idea that because I am a Christian that I am not fallen. I hate the ideology that because I am a Christian I have to have everything together or at least everything together according to that person's ideology. I hate that I know people pray for me because I am not "in the right"...again according to what their version of what in the right is.

His grace is sufficient for me. That should be enough. Yes I have made mistakes, yes I continue to make mistakes, yes I am a Christian. Does being a Christian mean that I have to be perfect in man's eyes? I know that there is a scripture about being without fault...I am a person that people could find fault.

But is His grace sufficient for me or only when I am living according to what other Christians say I should?
