I Have Been Failed

I have been failed.
I have been failed by churches, and Christians, and "Christians".  Yes, there's a difference between those last two.
I have been failed by the church that says I have to wear skirts below my knees, long sleeves, panty-hose, hair up, no make-up, no jewelry, no nail polish.
I have been failed by the church people who tell me that my depression and anxiety is because I'm not close enough to God.
I have been failed by the "Christians" who color people's opinions of me by their spewed hatred everywhere.
I have been failed by the Christians who refused to pray for a specific request, because they didn't think I needed what I was praying for.
I have been failed by the pastor who interrupts before I can finish my point.
I have been failed by the Christians who tell me that Harry Potter is satanic, while Narnia and Lord of the Rings is perfectly fine (I love all three, mostly Narnia and Harry Potter).
I have been failed by the Christians who tell me Pokemon is demonic.
I have been failed by the Christians who have made me feel like I had to be trapped in their box, and in their personal convictions in order to be a Christian.
I've been failed by church people who somehow, though never involved, know personal details of my life, that they have no need to know.
I have been failed.
I'm not being melodramatic, or mistaking the things that have happened in my life.  I have, indeed, been failed.
But...I've failed people too.
I've failed when I haven't been the respectful Christian I should be.
I've failed when I haven't obeyed my mother.
I've failed by my sins as well.
Do you who hasn't failed me, even though I've failed him?
God.
Christians fail me, churches fail me "Christians" fail me...and I fail all of them too...but God hasn't failed me.  And even in a world where I'm being failed by people I shouldn't be failed by, and in a world where even I mess up, and fail...it's good to know that God won't fail me.
