I’m Not Perfect…
Everyone knows that they aren’t perfect but recently I have been pondering if I am really willing to admit it. You see I pride myself on being good at a lot of things and really great at a few. However, over the last couple of months I have seen where my imperfections have hurt friends, showed my weaknesses, and at times just all around made me look stupid.
I’m one of those people who when they screw things up I process and process to try to be sure that it never happens again and also try to apologize to make things right as quickly as possible. In my processing, I am discovering a one thing… Every failure on my part is an opportunity for me to grow and for God to develop me more as a person and a leader.
As a young leader one of the most arrogant things I could ever believe would be that I have nothing left to learn and that I have arrived. In this season where God is unveiling my weaknesses and my areas that need work I am praying that I would never lose sight of two things…
1) He is perfect and that He will pour out His grace and love as I develop, stumble, fall and get back up to serve Him with more passion and zeal.
2) If I ever stop being teachable, I’m toast!
God promises to work all things together for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). So as I grow as I leader my prayer has become God work even my blunders and mishaps for good in my life and in the lives of those they effect. You are the perfect and I am not.
