Press on

When we expect perfection we’re doing a terrible, and yes, an annoying thing, not only to ourselves, but also, to those around us.

The truth is, when we expect perfection, we create a situation where others as well as ourselves don’t feel comfortable with us. Our expectations must be reasonable, simply because, we all make mistakes.

So yes, we set boundaries,  We have reasonable expectations, and yes, we strive to do our best while encouraging others to do the same. We know .. we’re all going to make mistakes, and yes, some will be grander than others. 

It’s with full understanding of this fact, we get up each day trusting wholeheartedly that our God,  He will give us the wisdom to use our mistakes as learning tools to help ourselves, and yes, to help others along the way as we travel through this journey called life.

For yes, this is love, and yes ..

We are loved by love Himself.  He loves us big and He loves us strong, and yes .. love wins period.

“Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus “- Philippians 3: 13-14
