Daily Devotional: March 21 – Scapegoat

As for our transgressions, You will provide atonement for them – Psalm 65:3

God does not expect us to be perfect. He knows that we will make mistakes. That is why He made Jesus a scapegoat to make atonement for us. Yes, Jesus is our atoning sacrifice who took on Himself our past, present, and future sins so that we can live without guilt and shame. When you feel that you are not measuring up to God’s standard, remind yourself that the only person that could meet God’s standard is Jesus. Thank God for Jesus. Praise Him for what He has achieved for you. He was perfect so you don’t have to be perfect. Recommit yourself anew to Him so that you can grow more and more into the image of the One who is perfect. And give yourself grace for your imperfections. God loves cleaning up the mess that we make. So again, don’t beat yourself up for not doing things perfectly.  

My imperfections are there to help me grow my relationship with the Perfect One
