Role Models

This imperfect, messed up, uncertain world, can really stress a person out. It's always hard to see people you love hurting, or going down a wrong path. I used to really look up to a lot of people. But in time, life brought with it some shocking realities, and left me very disappointed. But I guess that's just what comes with being human. The only thing, or person I can really look up to as a role model is Jesus himself. I've been told that I'm somewhat of a role model, and am looked up to be some. But honestly, I'm so imperfect, and I mess up so much. I wouldn't want someone to completely trust that I can be set on such high standards. I'm only human. I want to believe that I can be as good as Jesus was, but I know I can't. And just like that, I can't trust in others to be my guidance. They can help, but shouldn't be my only source of learning.


For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice, and He preserves the way of His godly ones. Then you will discern righteousness and justice and equity and every good course.
Proverbs 2:6-9
You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory.
Psalm 73:24
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach.
James 1:5
