Dying to Self Combats Perfectionism

Agape Moms’ theme this week is the problem with perfection and when this popped in our my feed via @vergenetwork, we couldn’t help but re-share. Jesus’ remedy to those of us who struggle with wanting to be perfect, or have control is definitely nothing close to the messages we are bombarded by in the world everyday. Jesus says to die to self and when we do that for His glory, we actually find ourselves!

“And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?” Luke 9:23-25
