Letting go.

Every time someone says ‘I’m a failure’ or ‘I feel incompetent’ I think, ‘Right, you are.  You need to rely on Christ.’  Let go of trying to succeed on your own.  Let God move.  Then it’s really his success.  So no.  On this earth we’ll never be ‘successful.’  The only time we are, is when we let go.  In which case it’s really God who’s successful and gets the glory.  So in one sense I’m content in my failure in that I’ll never amount to more than that.  At the same time, striving for perfection.  That didn’t make any sense.  But it’s truth
