God's Answer to an Identity CrisisSample

I’m not perfect so how can I be enough?

Movie Soundbite: “I have learned that perfection is not being flawless, rather it is living in a state of wholeness and completeness.” – Madison Montgomery

Watch Clip #7.

God Soundbite: At the beginning of the film, Madison is striving to be perfect. Her need for perfection keeps her from trying new things, raising her hand to answer, and presenting what she has learned. Through the course of the film, she learns that perfection is not being without mistakes but instead, it is the state of being complete. This completeness is found when she owns herself as a person—both her strengths and her weaknesses. Lord, you also are my portion and my cup you make my lot secure. Psalm 16:5. David again reminds us that we are secure because God is enough. The Hebrew word for perfection means complete or whole and God promises that in him we are made complete.

Meditate on the idea that God is perfect, and in him, you can be whole.

Prayer Soundbite: Dear Lord, I struggle with wanting to be perfect. I hate making mistakes and this causes me to not take risks, try new things, or put myself out there. I want to embrace my imperfections and trust your perfection to be my strength. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

Soundbite for the Day: I am enough because the I AM is perfect.
