You Don’t Have to Be Perfect

You Don’t Have to Be Perfect Maybe we started off the year strong, but now the halfway point is creeping up, and we’re realizing just how many Bible readings we’re behind– not to mention workouts skipped. To be honest, it’s easy to become apathetic, debating whether failed goals are worth continuing. But, what if it doesn’t matter when you started or how consistent you’ve been, but that you tried at all? Not that you did it perfectly, but that you attempted. In Philippians 3, Paul reminds us: we’re not going to get it right on our own, anyway. No matter our qualifications or efforts, we won’t be made perfect or complete without the work of Christ. So, while we try our best to keep goals, it won’t work out every time. What really counts is being obedient to the call God’s placed on our lives. Sometimes that means pressing on as well as we can.
