But this is the brilliant truth that outshines the lie: God is totally used to dealing with human imperfection. He has always worked in and through people who struggle and sin, people who try and then have to try again and then maybe try one more time. He gets it. He is just waiting for us supergirls to say, “This is who I am. You know my stuff. If you can use me, God, I’m yours.” And the craziest thing of all is that he will.
