Our Own Worst Enemy

Sometimes we can be so hard on ourselves.  We create schedules cramming too much to accomplish in a workday or try to follow some strict new diet or exercise plan only to fall short and unable to achieve the goals we set up for ourselves.  God never sets us up for failure; we set ourselves up for failure.

We think we need to complete 20 things a day instead of 7 or 8 in order to be considered good enough to be loved by God or used by Him.  All we end up really doing is condemning ourselves.  God knows how to get us from point A to point B, and He knows what we will accomplish each and every day to get us there.  God has it all planned out; so stop feeling "less than" and begin to enjoy the life God has given you.  Take the pressure off of yourselves.

If we do a little bit each day of the assignments God has given us, and not give up, we will eventually arrive at the place we are supposed to be at.  We will have peace because we will have done it in God's timing, and not our own.
