Remind Me.

"With a strong affirmation of our goodness
and a gentle understanding of our weakness,
God is loving us
--you & me--
this moment,
just as we are and not as we should be"
-Brennan Manning

I am a perfectionist.

I have super high standards for myself.

I have goals that I strain towards everyday.

It's a fight not to look back 

at my conversations,

my daily tasks,

my homework,

and not think of ways I could have done better,

said more,

been kinder,

tried harder.

It's such a good reminder that God isn't...

He isn't measuring me.

"There is nothing any of us can do to increase his love for us
and nothing we can do to diminish it."
-Brennan Manning.

That's the kind of freedom
I need to be reminded of every day.
