The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, endure forever–forsake not the works of Your own hands. -Psalm 138:8
Do you ever feel like you’re not good enough to come before the Lord? Like you have to many flaws to ever do anything great? It’s alright! We are born imperfect into an imperfect world. But as this verse states, God perfects us. That’s something to get excited about! There are no strings attached, no conditions to be met; God will meet you where you are and perfect you. Embrace God’s endless mercy and loving-kindness. Call on Him just as the psalmist does at the end of this verse. “Forsake not the works of Your own hands.” God will never leave your nor forsake you. Acknowledge your weaknesses and flaws. We are weak, but He is strong! God receives glory through our weakness and strengthens us more than we ever could on our own. God is good!
