       We cannot and should not expect ourselves to perform perfectly in our lives without any weakness manifesting itself at all. Not only is that not realistic, but it also set us up for disappointment and being too hard on ourselves. We can expect too much of ourselves and we can expect too much of other people as well. We can put burdens on others that God doesn’t want us to put on them, those of which are unrealistic and even unfair. We’ve been examining here in Romans how we are imperfect. We ourselves cannot perform perfectly in all situations, and neither can others. We need to be merciful toward ourselves and merciful toward others. We need to stop getting angry and upset with others when they don’t perform how we believe they should. When we stop demanding perfection from ourselves and accept the fact that we have weaknesses and are going to show our weakness in certain areas, it then makes it easier for us to give grace to others at the moment they show their weakness.
