Life can be pretty frustrating. No matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to get enough money, you can’t seem to do just the right thing, you can’t seem to get to that plateau that you have always dreamed about. Just when you think you’ve got it all together, you slip up and make another mistake.
That’s right. All these human dreams and struggles and frustrations are nothing to the God who made us and wants us to live an exciting an rewarding life. But it cannot be done without recognizing and utilizing the love of our Creator as found in His Son, Jesus Christ. In Him all the longings and wrongdoing and frustrations end, and when you yield to Christ and His Love, and let His Spirit live in your heart, all your dreams and hopes can be fulfilled. “With one sacrifice He made perfect forever those who are being made Holy.” (Heb. 10:14) Did you read that verse carefully? Instantaneously you can be made perfect. You don’t need to struggle to be better, you don’t have to wish that you were improving, you don’t have to carry those frustrations. What God begins He completes. What God improves He makes perfect. And that is you, if you let Him. All you need do is recognize God’s Power and Love in your life, and believe that what He says is true, and you are immediately made perfect in Him. Now I realize that humanly speaking, that seems a little weird. That’s because we are so used to living in our imperfection. We have ingrained our mistakes, and we are even comfortable in our imperfection. So we still try. We still stumble. We still make mistakes, because we still rely on ourselves instead of Him who Loved us and gave Himsel;f for us. That’s why the end of that same verse recognizes our humanness by stating we are still “being made Holy.” You see yourself struggling? When God looks at you, He looks at the Christ within you, and He sees you as perfect. So follow God’s example. Stop looking at yourself with all your imperfections and mistakes; Look at yourself as Perfect in Christ, and start living the victory.

So you look for help. Maybe if you get the right job, you will get the right amount of money to fulfill your dreams. Maybe if you watch what you do and watch what you say, you will finally have a pretty good day. And maybe if you play the politics right, your teacher, your boss, or your administrator, or even your parent, you’ll finally have that dream day for which you’ve been looking. You know what? You’re kidding yourself. And you know why? Because you’re already there.
