Food For Thought: We are called to be perfect. Nothing else is good enough for God’s people. That doesn’t mean we should have an inflated sense of our own worth. On the flip side we should not beat ourselves up when we fall short of perfection. We know that in our own strength we can never hope to achieve perfection. With God’s grace, anything is possible.
