Letting Go of Man-Made Standards and Living for God

Have you ever felt like you’re constantly falling short in your Christian walk? Like no matter how much you pray, serve, or try to be “good enough,” it’s never enough? Many Christians struggle with living up to standards that God never set in the first place. We place unnecessary burdens on ourselves, thinking they make us more spiritual, but in reality, they weigh us down and distract us from what truly matters.

Scripture Reading: Micah 6:8 (NIV)

“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.

And what does the Lord require of you?

To act justly and to love mercy

and to walk humbly with your God.”

God never called us to be perfect by human standards. He called us to be faithful, to love Him, and to live according to His Word. But sometimes, we add extra expectations—whether from tradition, personal guilt, or the influence of others—and they become barriers to our relationship with God.
