It's easy to get caught up in the performance trap. It's a doozy, it's everywhere, and the only way to stay away from it is to realize that you're a failure and you'll always be. God's love doesn't really try to convince you that you're alright - that you're good enough and smart enough and people, at times, tolerate you. Jesus calls a spade a spade and that means we're all found guilty.
That's kind of nice for me to know, though, because then I stop trying to earn something that I can't earn. I can just accept that God loves me despite the fact that I am a failure.
