The people who conform to the success strategies of the world are constantly looking for the next big craze or fad. They continuously find themselves on an unending quest for perfection. Being led by ever-changing media, they are fed lies like: “40 is the new 20” and “in order to be successful you must drive this type of car or belong to this monetary income bracket”. However, what these people never realize is the hamster wheel that they have allowed themselves to be placed on by their drive for perfection.
If only for this alone, I give God the praise that I am able to find my perfection in His Son Jesus Christ! By simply believing in the work that was done by Christ on the cross, I am made perfect and righteous in the eyes of the Father. Thus, that constant strive for perfection in the next best thing ends once you find THE BEST THING to believe in!
Jesus died so that you would have the freedom to operate in the uniqueness that God has exemplified in each and everyone of His children. Therefore, people of God stop allowing the enemy to make you feel like you will never measure up to the holy standards before you! So many of us mope around walking in defeat because we have bought into the enemy’s lie! Once you understand the truth that YOU WILL NEVER BE PERFECT OUTSIDE OF CHRIST, then you will be more receptive to the things that YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH AND HAVE PERFECTION IN WITH CHRIST. Get off of this guilt-ridden rollercoaster that the enemy sends so many believers on, and understand that “you are forgiven and not perfect” (Taffi Dollar’s quote). Therefore, walk in excellence with your helper by your side and allow God to bear the fruit of a life perfected with Jesus Christ.
Be blessed.
