I like to do things well and thoroughly, You can call me a
perfectionist, no matter how much time it takes.
In my decision-making, I’ve
come to recognize that my main motivation is avoiding making mistakes. I try to
make sure that my work and personal decisions are as right as they can possibly
be. Meticulously.
Almost any decision had to be perfect—Everything had to be well
thought through, all options and possibilities considered. I didn’t realize how
much stress I was bringing into my life! When I came to know God and
began involving Him in my life, I found that things could be much easier and that He could help me in
my
decision-making—after all, who knows better than the all-knowing One? So I
began asking for His
guidance.
Sometimes He would give me specific guidance. Other times He didn’t indicate a
clear course
of
action, leaving it in my court to search His Word and make godly decisions
based on its precepts.
However,
the best and most reassuring consequence of involving God is that He loves me
so much that
even
if I make a wrong choice, He continues to work with me and my decisions. He
doesn’t hold it against
me
when I make a mistake or let selfishness or fear guide my choices. He takes me
where I’m at and helps me
to
grow into making better choices. I am still a perfectionist, even after so many
years of
walking
with God, but finding Him has made my life so much easier and happier. Having
Him to counsel
with
and count on has helped to take the stress out of my decision-making, because I
know that although I may
make
mistakes, He can work even those for my good.Enjoy!
