“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” I John 1:9 ESV.
“And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption” 1 Corinthians 1:30, ESV.
We strive to be like Christ each day, but I can say I have yet to find perfection in myself. I have yet to find a perfect day. Even living a surrendered life, we have all yet to see a perfect life. Yet, I continue to find God’s mercy and grace pull me away from seeking perfection and keep my focus on doing what He called me to do.
Don’t allow a mess up to make you give up. God isn’t looking for perfect people, but He is looking for people with perfect hearts. Jesus is your perfection. He knows all of you, and He still called all of you. Thank Him for His goodness and mercy that follows you all the days of your life, and do what He called you to do. Keep following the Lord.
Prayer: Father, I give You praise this morning. You are good! Help me never allow a mess up to make me give up or get me stuck. I allow Your new mercies and great grace to pull me out of a mistake. I’m moving forward. Jesus is my perfection. You are working on me, and I’m still going to do what you called me to do. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
