In fact, Romans 3:23 says we all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Yet, we can push ourselves to reach impossible expectations when we don’t see ourselves through the eyes of Christ.
Perfectionism is a seed planted by the enemy to make us look solely at what WE are doing in our own power - while constantly whispering that we are not enough.
Note the specific point, in our own power. What’s really interesting is the battle is actually not about being perfect. The battle is within...2024-08-2719 minThe Christ Driven Woman PodcastHow do you identify? As TRASH or as TREASURE | Ep. 019Have you been rejecting the true identity that you have been given?

James 1:2-4 has always made me nervous growing up, as has many verses that talk about going through trouble. I thought if I read it or someone talked about it, that meant something bad was going to happen. I couldn’t even TOUCH the pages in the book of JOB.

Many times we make it harder than it needs to be simply because we are believing thoughts that are not true.
