I am not perfect and will never reach perfection. Mistakes once told me I would never be good enough. Back then, I felt trying harder would end my shortcomings. I am sometimes tempted to hide my “mess ups” from God. This is impossible because He knows everything about me.

God created me to be imperfect, so I could depend on Him. 2 Corinthians 12:9 is, “…’My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness’. So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.” (Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015). My own strength is full of limits and flaws. I am grateful for my weakness so I can see God’s power working through me. He gives me strength to live successfully with my imperfections.
