God is the beginning and the end, and he stepped outside of time to draw a relationship with us.
The root of perfectionism is just the fear of failure
The fear of if I don't do this, if I don't become this, if I can't consistently do this, then what value do I hold in the eyes of God or anybody else around me?
And if fear is not of God, and the Bible says that perfect love casts out all fear, but it also says that God is love. Any and everything that we do in our lives.
Life has to come from a place of love, which means that there should be an absence of fear. God loved us before we knew what love was, before we knew how to reciprocate the love that he's extended to us all these years.
And where there's love, because the fruit of the spirit is plural, there's joy, there's peace, there's kindness, there's self-control. Knowing when to stop, knowing when to give yourself a break, knowing when to be kind to other people.
These characteristics literally cannot be formed through fear. The anxiousness of trying to survive and trying to accomplish and trying to get things done in a certain time zone.
Fear is attached to the pressures of this world, but love is attached to the heart of God. We have to stop attaching our value to this false sense of self-worth. You are not your success, nor are you your failures. You are God's child.
And that strength that holds us up from day in and day out, even when we don't give our 100%, is God's strength to be made perfect in our weakness.
