I'm Not Perfect, and That's OK!

A little reflection from todays bible study - the passage was encouraging me to give up trying to be perfect and let Him be perfect in me. Oh that's hard to swallow. Not that I think I am perfect-not even close.  But that doesn't stop me from trying.   I don't even mind putting in the "work" to become perfect, but the disappointment when the wind gets knocked out of my sails never becomes easier to accept.  Somehow I find a way to move past that and keep pressing on.  So my lesson is ... Quit putting those expectations on myself in the first place! I know that as my relationship with Christ deepens, I can learn to trust His perfect love and remain confident in the promise that He will finish whatever He starts in me.  I hope you too will hold on to that promise and allow God to be perfect in you.
