“people who are becoming love keep it real about who they are right now, while living in constant anticipation about who God’s helping them to become.” bob goff

No matter how perfect someone’s life seems, please know that it’s not. We can get so caught up in comparing our stories. We wonder why their lives get to be so much more exciting, more fun, problem-less, and easier. The comparison trap is a REAL thing. And yesterday was one of those days for me! I struggled with insecurities, feeling inadequate and defeated.

James 3:2 says we ALL stumble in many ways. No amount of beautifully curated photos and perfectly worded captions can erase the reality that life is HARD and as humans, we FAIL, every single day. Its easy for me to feel like the weight of sin could crush me, and I get overwhelmed. But then I remember that there was One who was crushed already for me.

my striving and performing can NEVER save me. My work cannot be my god, even my service to God cannot be my god. I can never do or be enough. But when I let Christ be my sufficiency, when I let Him carry my weight, when I let God be God- then, and only then, am I free.

and to be honest, I’m still learning and letting this be my reality. hopefully you will too!
