Perfection is my Enemy

Have any of you ever truly listed to the lyrics of Free to Be Me by Francesca Battistelli? This song is so amazing. Here are some of my favorite parts:

But You've already won the battle

And You've got great plans for me

Though I can’t always see

Cause I got a couple dents in my fender

Got a couple rips in my jeans

Try to fit the pieces together

But PERFECTION is my ENEMY

On my own I'm so clumsy

But on Your shoulders I can see

I'm free to be me

Sometimes I believe that I can do anything

Yet other times I think I've got nothing good to bring

But You look at my heart and You tell me

That I've got all You seek

Ok I know that was most of the song, but I think this is my life! I constantly strive to be perfect not remembering that I am trying to do it on my own. Satan knows he can attack me in that way. Sometimes I let him really get to me, then God ALWAYS brings me out of that pit. God already has my plans laid out for me. Sometimes I don't feel worthy enough to fulfill the plans he has laid out for me or I think there is someone better than me to do whatever it is God has planned. Why do I let Satan tell me these things? So many times, I get this attitude that "Brooke you aren't good enough for anything you should just give up." I am so thankful to have a perfect God that loves me and always has a shoulder for me to lean on. God reminds me everyday that I can do anything through him. I don't always listen. I let my own stupid insecurities get in the way....until I break down and realize again I didn't trust in God. Thank you God for never leaving me.
