 <\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 I am about to have the perfect game!<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 Pride comes before the fall.<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 I really want it to be perfect.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 You should focus on just enjoying and leave perfection to Jesus<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is from the book So Long Insecurity by Beth Moore<\/p>\n

Pride.\u00a0 A root of insecurity if there ever was one.\u00a0 We will never feel better about ourselves by becoming consumed with ourselves.\u00a0 Likewise, we will never fell better about ourselves by feeling worse about others.\u00a0 Superiority can’t give birth to security.\u00a0 Neither, by the way, can the relentless pursuit of perfection.\u00a0 Earlier in our journey, I suggested that perfectionism is insecurity in art form.\u00a0 It never looks prettier and never acts deadlier.\u00a0 Perfectionism is perhaps our culture’s biggest temptation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You are no better than anybody else.\u00a0 God has put you where you are and only Him.\u00a0 It was not your doing so remember that pride has no place in what you are about to do.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hebrews 2:11<\/p>\n

Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.<\/p>\n
