Why do people put Christians on this pedestal that we are somehow 'better people'?
Why do Christians so often assert themselves in that assumption?
We are no better than anyone else, we simply believe in a grace which covers us in our slip-ups and mistakes.
A grace that Jesus gave to us through his death on a cross.
This amazing grace gift leads us to attempt to not slip-up so often, in humility and awe of the person who extends such grace.
I mean even the 'humility and awe' part is the line we'd like ourselves to believe.
The 'because the rules we've made based on what we should and shouldn't do tell us that we shouldn't' is more commonly what shows through...
Ultimately no-one is perfect, everyone is struggling with something. everyone is confused, everyone messes up.
So lets stop acting like we've got it sorted, that we have a clue about the majority of the grey areas of life and that we are better than others.
And start being raw about the things that hurt us, open about the battles which confuse us and compassionate towards each others mess (commonly known as everyday life.)
In the knowledge that if we lean and trust in the only person who knows all the answers and has our best interests at heart and will get us through.
Because He never changes and He has given us the route to change.
Amazing Grace.
