Today I am thankful that when I mess up God always forgives.
No matter how hard I try to reach perfection, I know that is not a possibility. Just knowing that God loves me anyway, (and usually my family does too) gives me the motivation to keep on, keeping on.
Because I am a perfectionist, I can make things pretty difficult for my family sometimes. Growing up in the abusive home of an alcoholic, this is what happens.
Many times I have repeated the simple verse of childhood "What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee." Because I know that perfectionists are driven by fear.
"And above all things have fervent charity among
yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins."
1 Peter 4:8
