None of us measure up.  In fact, Romans 3:23 says we all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.  Yet, we can push ourselves to reach impossible expectations when we don’t see ourselves through the eyes of Christ.

Note the specific point, in our own power.  What’s really interesting is the battle is actually not about being perfect.  The battle is within, it's about trying to prove to yourself that you are enough. 

Remarkably, when we understand that by allowing Jesus to work through us, by  accepting that we are more than enough only because of Christ, the need for perfectionism disappears.
