Far to often I try to live the perfect life, not exactly holy and blameless, but more than that I try to make it look like I have it all together. As Christians aren't we called to have it all together, to live the perfect sin free life with all of life's luxuries included.
I am sure that is what I signed up for when I became a Christian, didn't you?
Ok, so that couldn't be further from the truth. But it sure sounds good.
I think that the world often expects that standard of perfect, as we claim to be different from the world, yet we still suffer a lot of the same things as the world. We are affected by tragedies, we have financial losses and heartache, we still experience relationship breakdowns, etc..
The difference is that we have Jesus our Lord and Saviour to turn to in every circumstance. Thank you God for your gift of Salvation as it literally brings me life. I thank you that even though I often make mistakes and fall short, that you are always there to guide and correct me.
Create in me a clean heart Lord, one that does not boast in evil. A heart that will rejoice in suffering as I know it is bringing me closer to you and your Glory.
