Shalom! Welcome to episode 14 of Overcoming Daily with Anna Johnson.
Today's overcomer tidbit is this... the overcomer isn't perfect, but they sure are faithful. Are you guilty of trying to be perfect? Do you get frustrated because you seem to fail over and over again? Or you make mistakes?
I'm learning that perfectionism is rampant within the body of Messiah. A matter of fact, I confess, I used to be a perfectionist. Everyone might say, well, scripture tells us that we are to be perfect because our Messiah was perfect. But what if I told you that the way that we view perfection in our culture is not biblical? The word perfect in scripture in some places can be translated to being complete and whole. Not necessarily as we see it in the English being without blemish.
So, what if scripture was telling us to be complete, - to be whole in our faith and in our walk and in our service to God? God hasn't placed stumbling blocks before us. He only encourages us to overcome for his glory, and to follow him and to walk with him. Now Messiah came not that we could be perfect, but that we could overcome for his glory.
