As I reflect on my own life, I know it hasn’t always been attractive. I know I’ve failed at times, not always prioritizing growth in my faith. I’ve ignored the wisdom and insight of those older and wiser than me because I was full of myself. I have lacked integrity, making decisions and living my life in a way that felt good in the moment. I think we have all been there, and to some degree may still find ourselves there still. Following Jesus isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress. It’s about growing in our relationship with Jesus, and allowing His transformative power to reflect through us.
