Don't Let Perfectionism Become Your Curse

Don't Let Perfectionism Become Your Curse

As I have been taking some time to read my Bible, I'm realizing how much I have learned. It simply amazes me that in this short period of time I have learned more than I've known my whole entire life. 

That my friend is what I call a BLESSING. 

As the days have come and leaves, I'm literally in complete aw watching myself becoming so much more of the person that I had always craved to be. Knowing God's love, accepting his wisdom and contemplating on his words to gain his knowledge has been my ultimate fuel. 

 I've always lived my life playing on the sidewalk, doing only the things that allowed me to have complete control, for the hopes of never crossing path with disappointments or frustrations. Yes, the gift of being a perfectionist has engraved in me the repulsive perks of frustration and that no matter what, it’s never good enough.

YES, many of us perfectionist believes that we're not ready yet, "it's a process, we're getting there". We're not ready to take a stand because we know the works that it requires, because we've seen that the morality/wisdom of God is perpendicular to the morals of mankind. We start building walls because we're too afraid to take on something to only fail. We're too afraid to FAIL! We are living this life learning and teaching our children's that failure is never an option. But failing to realized, that God is not in favor of such relationship. We can NOT love if we're too afraid to fall.

I've learned that God's love is good ENOUGH, there's no such thing as disappointment or frustration in the presence of God (for the book of proverbs says 6:23 "his command is a lamp, and his teaching is a light and corrections and instructions are the way to life"). Knowing the depths of his love has weaken all my selfish ways and allowes to commit myself to him.  It has opened my eyes to a new depths of living.  I will not be afraid to take a stand. God is too Great for me to thank him in close doors. I may not know everything but that's what the Bible is for, it is his command and his words are my light. There will come a time where I may stumble, where I may even fall, but his love will surpass it all, and in the end I will rejoice in his arms because his fuel wont allow me to give up. 

If you think you too have a habit that is keeping you from being a Christian, then I suggest that you take it to God, pray to him! lay it on the table before him and tell him precisely that this is what you have, that is the situation and this is where you want to be. If you truly mean this with all your being, he will help you! for it is WRITTEN, God wont interfere until you've asked him to.
