There is nothing quite like trying to live up to an unnatural standard to make you realize how powerless you are and how much you need help to do that. Of course people in our society, even in our churches, don't need "God". We've come to choose a version of ourselves and our lives that's natural and easy to reach on our own. Instead of 'perfect', we're content with 'good enough'.
I was doing just fine, thank-you, when all I wanted in life was what I already had or might get by trying. But when I dream big, when I aim for a life that is beyond my own limitations, I realize how broken I really am. When I turn off the TV, unplug the computer, and listen to the true desires of my heart, I see where I fall short and really do need "God" after all.
That's just where I'm at today. I wonder if we'd all be there if we really knew what our hearts desired in life, and tried to reach for it.

PS. no, the true desire of your heart is not a big screen TV.
PPS. no, it's not a boat either.
PPPS. here's an example... try living through this and not falling apart... are you, like me, scratching your head and wondering how it can be done?
