A Formal Apology

To those who have met me and know me:
I apologize to you today because I realize what a terrible model of Christ I have been. I realize that some of you may not even know that I believe in God because my actions have been so far from being Christ-like. To those that do know what I believe, I apologize for being yet another hypocritical Christian who holds others to standards that I myself to not abide by. I have faults as any human does and I am going to continually fall, but in this moment I feel the need to apologize to you and to God for being selfish, self-serving, and for blatantly disregarding what I know to be truth. I have lost my way in the past weeks from continually falling into sin and while I understand that from some, that may not be a familiar concept, it is very real for me and I feel the effects daily. I ask your forgiveness for not being the example that I should always strive to be. For some, I know that I have stained my reputation in a way that cannot be reversed, and though I am undeserving, I ask for your understanding as I try to be a better picture of the love and grace that I have always known through Christ.
