Performance

"If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." -1 John 1:8

"But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." -Romans 5:8

The world that we're living in right now, is all about outdoing everyone. Not just in these corporate jungles that most of us are making our way through, but even in our personal lives its always about outdoing each other. Even in serving God, sometimes, I feel like I must outdo everyone. But the truth is that sometimes we fall short, I especially have been falling short quite a bit lately and if you read my previous posts, God has been teaching me about grace and has been continually refining me.

God is continually working on his art and the most beautiful thing about art is it never remains the same.

Being so focused on our performance we feel that we need to hit that level in order to be pleasing to Christ, but the matter of fact is in our brokenness Jesus came to make us whole again. And He continues to do that every single day. Every morning that I wake up broken from last night, Jesus comes save me again.

It's not about performance, the points we've scored, the good deeds we've done for the day, those come by themselves once we have a relationship with God.

Falling in love with God and who He is has helped me do things I wouldn't ordinarily do and see things.
