Don’t retreat

 I must forgive myself

To free myself

From a shame 

I don’t deserve

I’m reclaiming

The promise

Of Jesus

Who came

To replace

The perfectionist

That resides in me

Quiet my mind

Still the soul

Replace fear 

Of mistakes 

And rejection

With pride

For conquering

Not retreating

  7. Ugh, the perfectionist tendencies get us every time. Only Jesus was perfect. We won't attain that this side of heaven. Have a great evening!
