Why God Still Loves Imperfect People Like Me

By Princess Crystal of| PrincessCrystalSays.com

I’ve made mistakes.

I’ve doubted.

I’ve yelled at God in the dark and whispered prayers soaked in shame.

I’ve walked through heartbreak, trauma, grief, and moments I’m not proud of.

There were times I didn’t feel lovable—even to myself.

But here’s what I’ve learned in the deepest places of my soul:

God still loves imperfect people like me.

And that love?

It’s not based on how perfect I perform, but how perfectly He loves.

He Sees What Others Don’t

When people look at us, they often see our past.

Our choices.

Our slip-ups.

Our lowest moments.

But God sees our heart—the raw, honest, broken heart that still dares to reach for Him.

He sees the tears behind our strength.

The faith behind our fears.

The goodness that shame tried to cover up.

He doesn’t love us in spite of our imperfections.

He loves us through them.

Grace Covers What Guilt Tries To Shame

I’ve battled guilt from things I couldn’t change and wounds I didn’t cause.

But God reminded me that grace isn’t earned—it’s given.

And it doesn’t run out because I messed up again.

When Jesus met people in the Bible, He didn’t wait until they were cleaned up.

He met them in the dirt.

He healed the broken.

He chose the outcast.

He loved the messy.

And He still does.

I’m Not Perfect, But I’m Still His

I used to believe I had to be flawless to be faithful.

But God doesn’t ask for perfection.

He asks for presence.

For honesty.

For surrender.

Every time I came back to Him—after mistakes, after silence, after running—He welcomed me like I never left.

That’s what a good Father does.

That’s what Love does.

If You Feel Too Messed Up For God…

Let me be the one to tell you:

You are not too far gone.

You are not too broken.

You are not disqualified from His love.

Your story, your wounds, your healing—it all matters to Him.

He’s not waiting for the cleaned-up version of you.

He wants the real you.

Right now.

So yes, I’m imperfect.

I don’t always get it right.

But I am deeply, fully, and eternally loved by a God who does.

And that truth?

It gives me the courage to keep going, to keep healing, to keep believing.

Because if God can love me,

He can love you too.
