I'm a perfectionist. It seems like such a Christian thing to be. To always be loving and kind always all the time...to never get angry...to never fall short in any way.
And then I mess up and feel guilty and horrible. It's the right thing to do, isn't it? To beat myself up?
I wear myself out trying to be perfect. Trying to be my own savior.
Lately I've been realizing little by little that I try to live out of my own strength. I try to forgive on my own. Try to love on my own. Try to repent on my own. Try to find God on my own.
Only through Christ am I able to love, to trust, to forgive...only through Him am I able to know Him.
God is God...I am not.

God Is God
This song, by Steven Curtis Chapman, touched both my heart and mind. I hope it will inspire you as well.
