I have lived so long thinking unless I have a problem free, prefect life than I am not good enough. I have believed the lies that perfection is what I should strive for, and because of that fallen more times than I can remember. Instead of seeking perfection in this fallen world God wants us to seek him- the perfect one.
John 16:33 " In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I've conquered the world."
It is possible to glorify and follow him in the midst of our problems or imperfections. That is when his light shines most brightly through us. He is less interested in right circumstances, and more interested in right responses to whatever comes our way. I have learned I can't strive for perfection because I'll never reach it, but I can strive for the perfect one because through him I can do anything!
