Perfect

Life is…Perfect

Last night I was praying and contemplating the question…why when we believe in Jesus can’t we be perfect? Why can’t we do what He wants us to do, act like we’re supposed to, and not hurt others or ourselves by sinning?

I was expecting to contemplate this for days or months and honestly within a few minutes this is what came to mind.
+We wouldn’t need God anymore.
+We would only need Jesus once.
+If we were perfect we would be our own god. He would not be King.

Skiing

Life is...Skiing

Chris and I took David skiing yesterday. I lead to show David how to ski (for him to mimic me) and to show him the way: which way to turn (which run to go down). Chris was behind to pick him up when he fell.

When I skied with David alone I was still in front, because having someone to watch and knowing which way to go was imperative for him to feel safe & to believe he could get down the mountain. When he fell I could walk back up and get him.

My prayer for you this week is that you have someone in your life that goes before you (that you can mimic) as well as someone to pick you up when you fall.
But my BIGGER prayer is that you find Jesus for this.

***He came to earth to show us how to live + to show us which way to go + and to pick us up when we fall.
