Perfectionism and Approval\u00a0No one is Perfect, that’s why Pencils have Erasers,\u00a0Author Unknown<\/strong><\/h4>\n
.<\/h6>\n

When\u00a0Charlie was a child ,each autumn, his dad gave him a chore of racking up the leaves.\u00a0\u00a0 It\u00a0was a difficult job for a young boy, taking hours to complete, but one he did without argument.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 At the completion of his task, he would say. “Daddy you will love it”, the yard looks amazing”.\u00a0Every fall, his dad had the same response at the conclusion of his yard inspection. \u00a0“It looks good son, but you missed leaves over there…and a few over there…and there at a few over there…and there are a few more by the gate”.\u00a0 Charlie’s dad was a perfectionist and Charlie never felt that he measured up to his dad’s expectations.\u00a0Perfectionism is a cold and sterile symptom of a legalistic mind-set. Jesus scolded the Pharisees when He said,”they tie up heavy loads, hard to bear, and place them on men’s shoulders, but they will not lift a finger to help bear them” Matt hew 23;4).<\/p>\n

The Pharisees were great at making others feel as if they didn’t\u00a0\u00a0measure\u00a0up. This is the opposite of grace, and perhaps that is why Jesus vehemently opposed the Pharisees; behavior .\u00a0 Satan is The accuser of the brethren,\u00a0and he delights in trying to make us feel that we don’t measure up to God’s expectations. \u00a0God not only does not expect us to be perfect, but is\u00a0 precisely because we\u00a0are not and never will be perfect what he sent Jesus to\u00a0 save us and\u00a0the\u00a0holy spirit to help us in our daily life.\u00a0 If we could do it by ourselves, we would not need help.\u00a0 Jesus didn’t come to make us perfect people with no flaws, but He came to forgive our imperfections \u00a0and to wipe them away in God’s sight\u00a0.\u00a0\u00a0 We actually are perfect through Jesus, but we can never be perfect in our own performance.<\/p>\n

Jesus did say, “Be perfect even as your Father in heaven is perfect, ” (Matthew 5:48) but a study of the original language reveals that He meant that we should grow into complete maturity of godliness in mind and character.\u00a0 The thought of growing doesn’t\u00a0 frighten or overwhelm me because it is a process that goes on all throughout our lives.\u00a0 I love to learn, to change and to grow.\u00a0 However, when I thought I was being commanded to be perfect right now,’\u00a0 I did feel frightened \u00a0and it overwhelmed me because \u00a0I know that I wasn’t perfect and didn’t know how I ever could be.\u00a0 Now I know that I will still be growing even when Jesus returns to take me to heave.\u00a0 God is not disappointed that we have not arrived at manifesting perfect behavior, but He does\u00a0delight in finding us growing into maturity.<\/p>\n

Striving for excellence\u00a0\u00a0motivates you\u00a0\u00a0striving\u00a0\u00a0for perfection is demoralizing<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We are called to be excellent, but God leaves flaws in even His choicest saints so that they will always need Him.\u00a0 I like to say that excellence\u00a0 is not perfection, but it is taking what you have to work with and doing the best you can with it, all the while trusting Jesus to fill in the gaps –\u00a0Harriet Braiker<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
