I am a self proclaimed perfectionist. I’ve been this way since I was a young girl—and now that I’m older, I understand how my perfectionism has affected my understanding Jesus.

I love this piece from , because she invites perfectionists to set aside their expectations of self and exchange them for Christ’s.

“It occurred to me that 1 Corinthians 13 is not about my personal effort at love nor is it about a love that comes from me. In fact, it isn’t about my love at all. It’s about Love with a capital L. It's not a standard by which to judge or measure myself; it's a description of and invitation into Love. So, I don't have to do anything and I can't fail. I simply get to receive and participate in this Love that defines our world, is the truest reality, and lives on and on and on no matter what.â€

This piece is timely for those of you who are fighting with all you have, but at the end of the day still worry that you aren’t enough. I invite you to .

Be proud of yourself,
