" I am called to live in perfect relation to God so then my life produces a longing after God in other lives, not admiration for myself. Thoughts about myself hinder my usefulness to God. God is not after perfecting me to be a specimen in his showroom. He's getting me to the place where He can use me. Let Him do what He likes."

Today's #message from #oswaldchambers in #myutmostforhishighest reminds us that God is working on us, however He chooses, so that we may be in complete communion with Him.

How silly to think that christianity means perfection. Worst yet, how dangerous to expect perfection out of Christians.
.
#1 - humans are not and cannot be perfect. Only Jesus was perfect.
#2 - the realization of that truth allows us to see we need Him
#3 - the knowledge of His perfect life and immense sacrifice moves the Christian to a life long pursuit of service, not perfection.

I read the message a few times today until God opened my eyes to what He wants to change in me.

Try it! He will tell you what He wants to make better in your life too. He is waiting for you to want to hear.
