Lies of Perfectionism
Perfectionism tells me that:
I have to always make the right decision.
I can never make a mistake.
I can’t let my guard down.
What I realized today is that if I’m living this way I’m living in faith of myself (so no wonder I get nervous!).
The Bible tells me that:
God is in control
God is faithful
God is good
God loves me
God is all powerful
God is all knowing
No wonder the life of faith in Him is a life of rest! I am not to be anxious but to rely on God! He is my shield and protector and strong tower!
Most importantly, and worth repeating, God is in control (not me)!

Amen and Amen. I read this just after I wrote the e-mail to you about mineral oil, cheerios, and hot dogs. What you wrote is exactly what I have to keep learning and learning.
