Being a Christian isn't about being perfect or about trying to be perfect. No one can ever be perfect, we all make mistakes or do things we later realize were wrong. But being a Christian and accepting Jesus as our personal savior means one thing: you've been forgiven and will be welcomed into Heaven as long as you believe in Jesus and follow his teachings to the best of your ability. Of course, there may be times you don't, but again, no one is perfect. By wearing this I'm Not Perfect Just Forgiven Patch, you can remind yourself of that every day. It's in the Christian Patches section on The Cheap Place.
'I'm not perfect, just forgiven' should be the motto of every Christian. But there's more to it than simply praying and asking for forgiveness. You have to truly be aware that you're not perfect and you truly have to be sorry for what you've done; otherwise, you're just trying to get by with it. The saying 'it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission' shouldn't apply when praying and asking God and Jesus for forgiveness for your sins. God can see into your heart, so pretending to be sorry even when you're not is even worse than committing sin in the first place.
The I'm Not Perfect Patch measures 4 by 1.5 inches and is an embroidered patch. The text is white on a black background. The back is coated with a heat-activated adhesive that allows you to easily iron it on to any material except for leather. For leather, use the die-cut borders to sew it on so the heat won't damage the material.
