Spreading God's Love Thru Prayer
THE CHAINS OF PERFECTIONISM
(ECCLESIASTES 11:4 NCV)
THOSE WHO WAIT FOR PERFECT WEATHER WILL NEVER PLANT SEEDS; THOSE WHO LOOK AT EVERY CLOUD WILL NEVER HARVEST CROPS.
The media delivers an endless stream of messages that tell you how to look, how to behave, and how to dress. The media's expectations are impossible to meet-God's are not. God doesn't expect perfection...and neither should you.
If you find yourself bound up by the chains of perfectionism, it's time to ask yourself who you're trying to impress, and why. If you're trying to impress other people, it's time to reconsider your priorities. Your first responsibility is to the Heavenly Father who created you and to His Son who saved you. Then, you bear a powerful responsibility to your family. But, when it comes to meeting society's unrealistic expectations, forget it! After all. pleasing God is simply a matter of obeying His commandments and accepting His Son. But as for pleasing everybody else? That's impossible!
- A Daily Word -
(Proverbs 4:7 MSG)
Above all an before all, do this: Get Wisdom! Write this at the top of your list: Get Understanding!
HAVE A BLESSED DAY!
