My Opinion

I have a strong opinion. But I am often wrong. How should things be. How should I be. The elusive arrival to the perfect life. Doing it all. 

Seeing myself as the failure. The wretch who complicates things. Who is greatly disappointed with myself for not doing right, getting it right.

All that this true of me. Condemnation every day.

But I'm not to live in self condemnation. I am not the judge. It's living in my pride who truely desires to be be perfect on my own. That keeps me focused on self! I see only failure in this tiring loop.

God never asked me to have an opinion. He has asked me to trust him. Jesus was perfect in my place. Jesus lived the sinless life, centered around the Father.

I want to stop my opinion of myself. I want to lay down my pride. I want to draw nearer to Jesus so that I can be conformed to him, his love, his obediance to the Father and Scripture.
