I Post About God, But That Doesn’t Mean I’m Holier Than You
If you’ve ever seen someone post a Bible verse and thought, “They must be so spiritual,” let me be the first to tell you—that’s not always true. I share Scripture, talk about Jesus, and post Christian encouragement online… but I still fall short every single day.
I struggle with pride. I lose my patience. I battle anxiety. And there are moments when I feel like the last person qualified to talk about God. But I don’t post because I’m perfect—I post because I know I need Him.
Romans 3:23 reminds us that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” That includes pastors, worship leaders, influencers, and yes—me.
That’s why I wrote this article about how Christians still struggle with sin. Because the truth is, the Christian life isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a daily walk, full of ups, downs, and God’s grace in between.
I Struggle Too—But I Know Who Carries Me
There are mornings I don’t feel like reading my Bible. Days when I react in anger instead of love. Nights when doubt creeps in and I wonder why God still puts up with me.
But He does. Every single time.
2 Corinthians 12:9 has been an anchor for me:
“My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”
That verse reminds me that it’s not about me having it all together—it’s about trusting the One who does.
On the hard days, I lean into God’s Word—and honestly, that’s why I love this printable Bible study plan. It helps me stay grounded when my emotions try to lead me somewhere else.
And if you want to go even deeper, having a Bible that feels personal can make a huge difference. I still remember the first time I opened my custom engraved New King James Bible. Seeing my name on the cover reminded me: this Word is for me—even when I’m struggling.
Why God Doesn’t Expect Me to Be Perfect
For a long time, I thought being a Christian meant always having to get it right. I put pressure on myself to act spiritual, say the right things, and avoid mistakes at all costs. But that kind of thinking only left me exhausted and fake.
The truth? God never asked me to be perfect—He asked me to trust Him.
Philippians 1:6 says,
“Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.”
That means He’s still working on me. And He’s still working on you, too.
So when I fall short (which I do often), I don’t give up—I go back to Him. If you’ve been trying to earn your place in His love, this simple truth about grace and Jesus paying your debt might be what your heart needs right now.
And if you’re like me and you want daily reminders that God is still working in your life, Christian wall art with verses or messages of grace can be powerful to keep around your home or office.
What Matters Is That I Keep Coming Back to Him
The older I get, the more I realize that what separates a follower of Jesus from everyone else isn’t perfection—it’s persistence. Not in trying harder, but in always turning back to Him, no matter how far I’ve wandered.
I’ve had days when I felt spiritually dry. Days when shame made me want to avoid prayer. Days when I questioned if God still had patience for me.
But He does.
James 4:8 says,
“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”
That’s not just a suggestion—it’s a promise.
If you’ve been feeling distant from God lately, you’re not alone. This article on how to reconnect with God during hard days helped me when I needed to be reminded of that truth.
And if staying in the Word has been hard lately, this chronological Bible plan can help bring clarity, consistency, and a deeper understanding of how everything in Scripture connects.
Let’s Stop Pretending—Christians Still Fall
One of the most dangerous things we can do as believers is pretend we have it all together. I used to think I had to look the part, talk the part, and always keep my struggles hidden. But I’ve learned that God can’t heal what we fake.
Jesus didn’t call the put-together—He called the weary, the broken, the ones who knew they needed Him.
We have to stop treating faith like a highlight reel. Being honest about our weaknesses doesn’t make us less Christian—it makes us real. And when we’re real, we give others permission to step out of shame and into grace.
If you’ve ever felt like you weren’t “Christian enough,” I wrote this article on embracing grace when you’re not perfectfor that exact reason. It’s not a checklist—it’s a heart shift.
And if you’re someone who wants to wear your faith boldly—but honestly—these Christian t-shirts don’t preach perfection. They preach Jesus.
What I’ve Learned From My Weakest Days
Some of the most intimate moments I’ve had with God didn’t come during my strongest seasons—they came when I was barely hanging on.
In those moments, I didn’t need a sermon. I didn’t need a perfect prayer. I just needed to know He was near. And He was.
Lamentations 3:22–23 says,
“Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”
That verse has carried me through more mornings than I can count.
If you’re in that place right now—tired, struggling, wondering if God is still for you—I promise you this: He is. And He always will be.
To stay grounded, I keep a simple daily Bible reading plan near me. It’s not about doing more—it’s about remembering who carries me through it all.
And if you’re someone who learns visually or needs structure, don’t overlook the power of something like a custom engraved Bible or faith-filled home decor to keep your eyes (and heart) lifted.
When People Think I’m “Too Holy” for Struggles
It’s funny—and a little sad—how quick people are to assume that if you talk about Jesus, you must have it all together. I’ve had people tell me things like, “You probably never deal with doubt” or “I wish I had the kind of faith you do.”
I usually just smile, but deep down I want to say: “You don’t see the nights I cry out to God. You don’t see the moments I’ve wanted to give up. I’m not stronger than you—I just know where my strength comes from.”
Posting about God doesn’t make me “holier.” If anything, it’s a sign that I’m clinging to Him every day. Not because I’ve got it all figured out—but because I know I don’t.
That’s why this reminder about our daily need for God resonates with me so much. Following Jesus is a daily dependence, not a spiritual status.
And when I wear Christian apparel, it’s not to look righteous—it’s to spark conversations, to plant seeds, and to remind me that even in my struggle, I belong to Him.
God’s Grace Doesn’t Expire When I Fail
You want to know something beautiful? God’s grace doesn’t have a limit. It doesn’t run out on your bad days. It doesn’t wear thin when you mess up for the 100th time.
If anything, the more I’ve struggled, the more I’ve experienced the depth of His mercy.
When Jesus died for me, He didn’t just cover my past sins. He covered the ones I haven’t even committed yet. Not so I could live recklessly—but so I could live freely.
Romans 8:1 says,
“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus…”
So if you’ve messed up recently—if you’ve yelled at your kids, skipped your Bible reading for a week, or slipped back into an old sin—I want to tell you the same thing I tell myself:
His grace is still enough.
If you need help getting back on track, try something simple like this 30-day plan to reignite your faith. And if you want a fresh reminder of God’s promises every time you look at your wall, this collection of Christian decor is filled with truth that sticks with you.
