I let go of perfection, knowing that it is an impossible goal. Instead, I embrace who God says I am… I am the righteousness of God – faults and all. After all, only my God is perfect!
I set my personal growth goals to specific, measurable levels that I know I can accomplish. I take realistic steps that lead to attainable goals. This way, I know I am getting better and better all the time. With each step I take, I am learning and growing, but I don’t have to be perfect.
I am happy with myself. I know that most of the time I do my best and I forgive myself for sometimes doing less. After all, no one is perfect, and that’s okay.
When I make a mistake, I admit it, do what I can to correct it, and learn from it. I realize that making mistakes is a natural part of being human. Rather than beating myself up about it, I move forward with no regrets.
I live in the moment. The past is done and the future is yet to come. What we have now is the present. This moment is what is real and I am a part of it. I am grateful for every precious moment and relish its possibilities.
Today, I plan to live life to its fullest, to enjoy each and every moment for what it can bring me, and I throw off the trappings of trying to exhibit perfection. I am what I am and that’s fine with me!
I will let nothing separate me from my God’s love. Nothing!
“…..we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord”. Romans 8:37-39
And should I fail? My heavenly Father’s amazing grace will lead me on. Thank You Jesus for Your mercy and Your grace. Like the song says… I’ve come this far by faith.

Pastor Alvin,
Thank you for that reminder. When I grow up, I want to be as real and open as you. I want my outside to match who I really am on the inside.
Much love and respect,
Kathryn
Thank you so much brother Alvin. I really needed to read this this morning. God is so good. All praise and glory to Him.
This was refreshing to hear. No excuses. Just be the best YOU that you can be. God will take care of the rest. Glory to God!
