Not a blogger...

I don't know if there are any guidelines to being a blogger but I've most likely broken them if there are. I am terrible at blogging consistently. Good thing God does not measure us by how good or bad we are at a job. 

I use to battle with that within my faith. I'd read my Bible for a few days and then I'd miss a couple days and think I was a total failure. I couldn't complete the daily reading challenge that some people I knew where able to complete. Did that mean I was less of a Christian? 

Life is full of so many things that demand of us. From being a parent, or a child, a worker, a manager, an athlete, even being a Christian can feel like we are being demanded of.

Christianity is not about a bunch of rules and check boxes. I use to think that it was. I use to think that if I didn't pray enough or I didn't read the Bible enough I was falling short, I was failing God. God wants us to come to Him as we are. To seek Him, to love Him. The more I realize this the more freedom I feel. I'm less focused about trying to achieve perfection and more focused on loving, respecting, and honoring my Love, my God.

It makes a huge difference.

Where are you feeling like you're falling short? Is God telling you that you are or are you seeking and receiving the wrong kind of advice?

God, help us to seek you. Help us to ask of you with pure hearts with Godly intentions. Not for our own gain but to further Your kingdom and Your will. Amen
