The Bible tells us to be perfect. This is likely a scary thought for many people. It used to scare me. I didn't think I could ever get there, no matter how hard I tried.
Don’t waste your life waiting until everything is perfect before you start enjoying it.
Strive for excellence, not perfection, because we don't live in a perfect world.
Nobody has a perfect life and it's entirely possible that if you want someone else's life they are busy wanting someone else's too–maybe even yours.
So what if you're not perfect? nobody else is either.
God's love for me is perfect because it's based on Him not on me. So even when I failed He kept loving me.
If you can believe the God who is perfect loves you then you can believe that you are worth loving.
Don't wait for everything to be perfect before you decide to enjoy your life.
So now, I exhort you with this truth: Don't spend all your life playing it safe! Safety is very comfortable, but it may be keeping you from God's perfect plan for your life...
I've learned through my own relationship with God that He's not expecting me to be perfect; He wants me to do my best to be in His will and take steps of faith as He leads me, through His Word and the promptings He speaks to my heart.
Christianity is about the heart, and the Bible says that we cannot get to heaven on our own good works. No matter how good we are, we cannot be good enough, because God is perfect, and we're always going to be less than perfect.
God's perfect, unconditional love and faithfulness are what brought me through all of the healing, restoration and breakthroughs I desperately needed so I could become what He created me to be!
I make mistakes every day. I'm not perfect in my behavior, but I want to be and that's what God is after, a heart that wants to be.
