As Christians all of us feel so much pressure to be perfect. We feel the need to be perfect in our love for others so that everyone can feel the love of Christ, we feel the need to act perfectly because other Christians seem too and because if we aren't perfect why would anyone ever feel the need to be Christian, we feel the need to make every decision the right decision because what if we do something that so wrong we can fix it or be fixed? If you do not fall into this train of thought, I apologize for over generalizing. But, I see Christians around me everyday worrying and struggling with this, and I struggle with this myself.
Add this pressure to the pressure we feel everyday as Swatties to do our work right and to be active in extra-curricular activities, this pressure can be over whelming.
What I need a reminder of often, sometimes on a daily basis, which I am now going to remind all of you, is that God doesn't care if we are perfect. God does not care if we make mistakes. God doesn't care if we slip up. God doesn't care if don't understand him sometimes. God doesn't care about any of those things. God just loves us. He loves us no matter how many times we screw up. In God's eyes there is NOTHING that can make us more or less worthy of his love. Do not let this world tell you differently.
So relax and just rest in God's arms.
