at peace... with imperfection...
Odd for me... as a perfectionist... who generally finds worth... in how well I do...
But God has been at work... in the current study with sisters...
a healing work...
transforming one who feels unworthy...
to one who accepts... her worth... in Christ...
A healing that has helped me... accept His acceptance... of me...
not based on performance...
but on His love...
For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear,
but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons,
by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!"
Romans 8:15
Sons... children... of the Father... unlike slaves... their worth is not dependent... on their work...
Children belong... and are treasured... no matter what...
They may be disciplined... but those who love the Father... to the best of their ability... will be loved back... far beyond... anything... they could ask... or imagine...
Of course... I come to know this transformation...
as I've come face to face...
with my own... imperfections... today...
Even in my best efforts...
the imperfect appears...
but does not stir... my heart to fear...
an odd place to be... for me...
at peace... with imperfection...
Good... but odd...
