Day 22: Perfect

The hard TRUTH is that
I will fail you.
Now that is hard to say coming from a recovered PERFECTIONIST.
I have failed my husband.
I have failed my children.
I have failed my friends.
So does that make me a failure?
Oh you would think,
because aren't I supposed to be PERFECT
because I follow a PERFECT JESUS?
Oh because I fail is why I follow a PERFECT JESUS.
Does that mean that I have permission to fail others?
Oh no.
But as long as I am in this body
my flesh only knows how to fail
because
"Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall..."*
And that is why we have to HOPE~
"...but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
