So, as God has been working on my heart – editing and refining and affirming His message in my life – I’ve been sharing with her. Maybe you could use a reminder today, too?
- The gifts God has given you will never be perfect, but they are also never “junk.”
- Failure will happen, but we need to see it as an opportunity to try again, not an excuse to give up.
- The first idea is rarely the best idea – allow other people to help you turn it into something amazing.
- Independence is a valuable strength, but that doesn’t mean that depending on others is a weakness.
- Life will be imperfect, but God still calls His creation “good” – let’s not give it any other name.
No one likes to be wrong, or to have their work edited. It’s not easy to accept that we have weaknesses or need others to help us, to make us better and more effective for the work set before us. Keep going, friend. Work hard this week. When it goes imperfectly, don’t allow frustration to keep you from taking the next right step. We’re in this together.
Like I’ve been speaking over my daughter:
We will all make mistakes
But we will always love one another
And we will work to make better choices
Because we are a family.
