Yesterday, I posted on facebook that sometimes I have a harder time dealing with myself than with others. I was trying to be a little humorous at the time, however there was definitely a lot of truth in that statement.
Sometimes it is easy to look at what we want to change, and forget about the how good we already are. God made us in HIS image. He sent HIS SON so he can understand our humanity. No we are not perfect as Christ is, but HE made a way for us to be as much like him as humanly possible.
So I have decided to cut myself some slack, and be thankful that it doesn't take the perfection of this world to be pleasing to God, and realize HE is who would should be trying to please. If we please HIM we are doing great.
There is a poem, I know that we have probably all heard, however it came on my mind while I was writing this post. It is the The Serenity Prayer.
GOD, grant me the
Serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change
Courage
to change the
things I can
and the
Wisdom
to know the difference.
