Rely on His Love and Mercy - One Minute with Bishop Burbidge

Have you ever assembled something the wrong way, thought an error was irreversible, or perhaps made a mistake from which you felt certain you could not recover? We can become demoralized, disappointed, and maybe even angry with ourselves. We may feel the moment for doing right has passed. In our everyday lives, and especially in our spiritual lives, we can sometimes fall to perfectionism. We convince ourselves that anything less than flawless is a failure in the eyes of God. Yet it is just the opposite! Our sins, flaws, and crosses actually become blessings if they lead us to a profound understanding for our need for God and a deeper reliance on his love and mercy. In our weakness, we avoid discouragement by trusting in the Lord’s promise, the One who says: “My grace is sufficient for you.”
