No Big Deal!
Psalm 73:22-24: “I saw myself so stupid… But even so, you love me!” (vv.22-23 TLB). Carefully I made out the grocery list so I would not forget anything. I checked off the items as I put them in the grocery basket. When I came to the soft drink aisle, I consulted my list for the brand my family wanted. I reached for the appropriate 24 pack and loaded it in the cart. After reviewing the list, I smiled with a sense of completion. Then I checked out and drove home to put it all away. As we were emptying the bags, I heard a groan. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “You got caffeine-free regular soda instead of caffeine-free diet soda. How could you do that? Couldn’t you tell the difference?” Immediately I felt the shame of “not doing it right.” I had tried hard to please everyone by getting all the correct items. How could I have failed? Then to my amazement, I heard the following words come from my mouth. “I made a mistake.” “No big deal!” I thought. “I goofed, but it doesn’t make me less valuable.” Slowly I am learning to live with my humanness and imperfection. It’s okay. God loves me anyway. Lord, may I release myself and others from the rigid rules of perfectionism, even in the little daily areas of our lives. Joan C. Webb
