How much “religious activity” have we added to what God wants from us? Afflicting ourselves, if it is to try to gain God’s favor, reflects a perception of God that denies much more prominent aspects of His heart and character!
Are you imperfect? Join the club that includes all of humanity! But don’t allow your imperfections to accuse you and keep you from doing all God is calling you to do. Place yourself in His hands to purify AND to use.
