Mother's Day // The Burden Of Perfection | Pastor Jordan Smucker | 05.09.21
Many of us constantly battle with trying to live up to the expectations of others or trying to live up to my own unrealistic expectations. For others, we find ourselves wrestling with the lie of the expectations we think God has for us. If you battle with the pursuit of perfectionism you may even find yourself “almost” lying in order to show an image of yourself that’s not real. Or maybe you avoid something that you’d like to do because you’re afraid you won’t hit the standard, so you’ll avoid it altogether. Or you obsess over something to get it just right without realizing that perfectionism will hinder progress while telling yourself “this is the price I pay to be successful.” So how do we avoid the burden of perfection? Jesus tells us; “become like little children.”
“We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God,
and take every thought captive to obey Christ.” -2 Corinthians 10:5
