Mess Up or Miss Out



Happy Monday!!

Are you messing up in life or are you missing out on life?  If you're afraid of messing up chances are you are in the' missing out on life' category.  I've shared a little with you all here about my battle with being a perfectionist.  I know firsthand that wanting to to do things 'just right' is a blessing blocker and a growth stopper that can cause you to miss out on living life to the fullest.

"A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. -George Bernard Shaw


It is impossible to live life and not mess up!  Mistakes are proof that you are taking action towards God's plan for your life.  Messing up is proof that you are stepping outside of your comfort zone and pushing your own limits.  What is even better mistakes, messing up, failures are all opportunities to grow!  They are opportunities to grow strong in your faith in God and not yourself!  Don't be afraid of falling, embarrassing yourself, looking like an idiot, or getting uncomfortable because greater is HE that is within you.

No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. - Romans 8:37


God has not given us a spirit of fear (2 Timothy 1:7)!  Not wanting to mess up is a real fear for a lot of us but we have to remember what God put inside of us.  So get out there and mess up... YES, go mess up!  This week, go outside of your comfort zone, try something new or do something you've been wanting to do!  Even if you do fall flat on your face, that fall does not define you!  Learn from it and move on!
