I am a follower of Jesus Christ but I somehow seem to stray

I was taught to be perfect but somehow I fail at it daily, I’d say

Perfection means perfect, excellence, unblemished and living a life that is flawless

Why is it I ask do I find myself calling out to God almost daily for his forgiveness?

I do find that I take heart in the fact that only one man ever obtained full perfection

That man was Jesus, the son of God and he did it to obtain for me Gods pardon

This he attains because too many times I allow my heart to harden

I fail to give to the poor, to forgive and forget and too many times I am crude

For this reason I pray to him each day of my life for times I am unkind, uncaring and rude

Perfection is truly my objective to accomplish but too often I find I fall short of this goal

This is why I worship my Lord and rely on his merciful love, and I pray in body and soul

Seek perfection, my friend but be honest and when you do not achieve this goal

Pray to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit for only they can save your soul
