Self Evaluation / Are you a perfectionist?

1-Do you ever feel guilty when you relax, knowing you have a lot to do?

2-Do you often feel dissatisfied or discontent with yourself or your situation?

3-Do you have a tendency to see something wrong with things rather than what’s right?

4-Do you ever find yourself using phrases like I have to, I must, I ought to, I should be a able to.

5-Do you ever feel frustrated or maybe even angry at God feeling that His expectations on you are unreasonable?

6-Does your relationship with God seem like a burden rather than a blessing?

Perfectionism is trying to prove my worth by being perfect. It is a counterfeit of spiritual maturity.

Perfectionism is destructive.

Grace is taking all of my sins and giving them to God, and He gives me Heaven.

What Perfectionism Does:

1-It Breaks My Initiative

2-It Damages My Relationships

3-It Destroys My Happiness

There is only one antidote to Perfectionism. RELAX

R-Realize Nobody’s Perfect

E-Enjoy

L-Let God Handle Things

A-Act In Faith, Not Fear

X-EXchange My Perfectionism For God’s Grace
