When most people meet Jesus for the first time, they are wild and free, passionate and ready to embrace their Savior, which also means coming face-to-face with their brokenness. They are not ashamed to admit that they need Jesus to fix them. However, over time in their Christian walk, they start to forget the simple fact that all people are shattered glass and in constant need for Jesus to be the glue to hold them together. They start to play God and fashion themselves to be a perfect picture of what they think a Christian should look like in order to fit into the kingdom of God and do His work. The danger in this downward spiral is that not only does it cause Christ followers to fall because they are trying to fix themselves, but it also keeps new people from coming into the kingdom of God. Nonbelievers may feel as if they are not good enough. Playing the perfect Christian or church is a dangerous playground. The bride of Christ must embrace its constant need for the Savior so that more people will fall in love with Him, the one who seeks the broken to heal them and set them free. Do you find yourself running the hamster wheel of trying to be the perfect Christian? Are you exhausted and feel like if you let your foot slip just once, you will disappoint Jesus and turn the church away from your side? Trust me when I say that you can be free from the vicious cycle of perfectionism. Are you ready to embrace your brokenness and your constant need for a Savior? Only by learning this truth will you truly be set free. Freedom is near. Can you feel it?
