I can get so caught up in life. I especially am consumed with the things I get wrong – how I have to be perfect. Like, somehow, I am that great.
Oh how I am imperfect and flawed. No matter how hard I try to do right, I somehow do wrong. Do we need to do our best to do right? Yes, absolutely! We need to work hard and bear good fruit. Are we always going to do that? No. We aren’t.
We serve a God of mercy, grace, and love. This fact is the essence of our relationship with Him. He gives us mercy, grace, and love & we, in turn, are grateful, give thanksgiving, and put Him first.
“Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Oh, give thanks to the God of gods! For His mercy endures forever. Oh, give thanks to the Lord of lords! For His mercy endures forever: To Him who alone does great wonders, For His mercy endures forever; To Him who by wisdom made the heavens, For His mercy endures forever; To Him who laid out the earth above the waters, For His mercy endures forever; To Him who made great lights, For His mercy endures forever— The sun to rule by day, For His mercy endures forever; The moon and stars to rule by night, For His mercy endures forever.”
Psalms 136:1-9 NKJV
““I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.”
John 15:5 NKJV
“Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.”
Psalms 107:1 NKJV
“Therefore David blessed the LORD before all the assembly; and David said: “Blessed are You, LORD God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever. Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, The power and the glory, The victory and the majesty; For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, And You are exalted as head over all.”
I Chronicles 29:10-11 NKJV
Don’t allow your imperfectness stunt you. Our being right is not where our success lies, but rather in the continual communion with the Father. Don’t walk through life with guilt. Our Father, the creator of the universe, is on our side and wants only what is best for us! Give thanks to God that He has it all worked out and keep going.
Live fearlessly and be blessed!
