I wrestle this every day. “If only this were done, or that were clean, or this was more organized…then I could just breathe.” I guess it’s really a form of an idol. But peace He gives to us, not as this world does, but only as He can.

I struggle with this. I’m never close enough to God, my house isn’t clean enough, my kids don’t behave good enough, I’m not nice enough. I let my expectations for me and my life make me unhappy when I shouldn’t be, I know that. I just don’t know how to stop. Wait yes I do, each time I start to pick apart what I didn’t get done, I can Thank God for what I did get done, and how far I’ve come.

Im undone and unfinished, and yet He still adores me. Mind blowing, and sometimes hard to believe.

I so resonate, Laura -seeking to find rest in the unfinished. Soul-rest comes when we are surrendered to Him and His love. When we “get” His love for us – how deep and high and wide and long is His love for us — that is when we find peace and soul-rest. Because it is in His love and presence that we “shall not want.” Living for HIM brings freedom to embrace the unfinished and… breathe.
