What if I told you that i’m not perfect would you believe me? Sometimes we try so hard to be so perfect to appear like we got it all together or we don’t make any mistakes. It’s at the place, where I find out that I do make mistakes, just like anyone else. I’m not perfect, in fact, far from it just like anyone else. But at that place is where I found God to continue to love me. Regardless of any mistake or decision that that I’ve made. Sometimes in my mind, I think I have to have this life all figured out, but that’s not true. Not having life all figured out could cause alot of doubt, fear, confusion, anxiety, and depression. Each of us is on a journey each and everyday, but God is still with us on it. Even on that journey, when things seem unclear or even when we’re unsure about the next destination and don’t know where to turn. Or get this even when we’re afraid or maybe even be insecure, God is still right there with us through it all!!!!.
The older I get the more I stray away from having a title when it comes to my relationship with God. You don’t have to give me a title or even say I am this or that, just know that I love God that’s it. I try daily to get it right and sometimes, I must admit that I fail daily. We all fail regardless if we want to admit it or not. But if I never failed at anything I could only tell you that God would be with you if you were only perfect. Nobody is perfect, we all are imperfect individuals. I lived for so long thinking I had to do everything right, but I must admit that it got so exhausting. God showed me that just because you have it all right in one area, doesn’t mean that you have mastered it. How is your heart posture? Are you judgmental? Do you talk about people? Are you mean? Do you easily forgive, do you hold grudges? ETC. Etc. Just because a person doesn’t sin the way you sin, do you frown upon them for doing theirs, because remember no sin is greater than the other. We all need grace.
I’m glad that God knew me already, He knew that I would be here at this very moment that I could say that I don’t even want to be perfect. I don’t even want to be a perfectionist. As i’ve grown i’ve realized that a person that is a perfectionist has so much anxiety and stress. They always think that they are not good enough. All I want to do is try my best for God and I pray that He sanctifies and makes me into what He wants me to be. Life is hard, it’s a struggle sometimes. I don’t want to live my life for anyone else. I can’t, I can only live my life for me. & I pray that when this journey is over that God is pleased with me.
I give up the power of having to have control over everything. I give up the power to always have to know what’s next, but I pray that God leads me and guides me. I’ve asked God for so many things in my life, but I believe that He has broken me all the way down to build me up again. A key to it is, learning how to love yourself and who God has made you to be. I’ve learned to not live a Religion, but it’s all about my relationship with God. I honestly used to hear, you can’t do this or you can’t do that, but who said that? God made me a unique individual to let my light shine to the world, I don’t want to be anybody, but me!!!!
I believe that my ultimate goal for this post is to bring you back to God if you feel like you have went astray in life. You haven’t went too far for God to catch you. There is nothing you can do for God to turn His love away from you. You can turn back to Him on today. & He will fill you up with his love, grace, and mercy.
Sometimes, you also have to ask yourself what’s in your ears, or what kind of lies have you been listening to. You have to step away sometime and really think about who has been in your ear and if they have been in your ear, what lies have you been believing about yourself? You can either, believe what God has said about you, or you can believe what people say about you. & I choose to believe God. Stop believing all the lies that has been spoken over your life, that’s non effect today. Start seeing yourself as an Overcomer. Start seeing yourself as coming out. You will come out and you will win, but you have to also believe it. There is nothing God cannot do. You have to look at the way you have been looking at yourself, if you see yourself defeated, you are defeated. But if you see yourself as a winner you will win. By me saying this, I am reminded of how God left the 99 and went after the one who was lost. God will not allow you to be defeated, He will not allow the enemy to win over you. Even if you have gotten yourself in a mess All things work together for good!!! You have to realize that sometimes things come in our lives to allow us to loose our minds, but God has all power to keep you sane………. You have to know that NO naysayer, no rumor, no devil in hell will defeat what God has put on the inside of you. Fill your mouth up with truth, what God said!!! Not with sadness, not with defeat, but power. You have to recognize the enemies tactics and rebuke him in the name of Jesus. Send it back to the fiery pits of hell from where it belongs.. I hope this encouraged you and allow you to step out on faith and believe God. I am perfectly imperfect, but God still loves me somehow & someway!!!!
Best Wishes!

So today, I pray for you. Father, forgive me of my sin and my shortcomings. I am far from perfect and I know i’ll never be, but please don’t take your hands off of me. Please help me when I am weak and torn down. Lead me back to you at this moment of time. Strengthen me and help me. Lead me and guide me. Help me to please you. Help me to live for you. Help me to turn from my wicked ways and to do your will. Whatever that’s wrong in my life you make it right. I trust you with my heart and my life. I love you and I honor you on this day and I thank you for my life and never giving up on me. For looking at me and making me perfect in your image and your likeness. There is no other name like yours. Help me and fill every void in my life. I honor you and I cherish you. You are God and God alone. Thank you, it’s all in your hands in Jesus name. I pray Amen.
