Inadequacy

Seussical will be over soon, and my Bible study girls are wanting for me to start it back up.  I’m so thankful for their desire! The problem is I feel horribly inadequate to help anyone further in their walk because I have been struggling so much lately.

I’m so self-centered.  I haven’t dug into the Word lately. I do not display the characteristics of love spelled out in 1 Corinthians.  I gossip.

What is wrong with me, and why is this happening?

I tremble in fear when I remember James 3:1.

Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.

I know God is disappointed in my falls and shortcomings.  I don’t want my mistakes to be a poor reflection on Him, especially to my Bible study girls.  It’s not that I expect them to find me perfect or that I want them to think of me as a God-figure.  I just don’t want to turn them off from Him because He deserves ALL praise and love.

Pray for me.  Encourage me.  Hold me accountable.
