If only we were debt free...
If only my children were better behaved....
If only I had less junk and more "good" stuff....
If only I didn't lose my temper so much...
If only I exercised more...
If only I were a better housekeeper...
If only I were more kind to those around me...
Then.... then.... then.... what?
Would life be better? Or would it be filled with more if onlys?
I am learning that I don't have to get my act together before I encounter God. I don't have to seek perfection that I will never find. I can come to Him dirty, full of sin and frustrations, and exhaustion. He can clean me, restore me, and give me rest. He will set my paths straight... if only I allow Him.
“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28)
