When my life doesn’t look like the life God promises in His Word, I'm confronted with a choice: Either I'm missing something or God is missing something. So do I believe God's standard is true for me—even though it seems utterly ridiculous—or do I somehow, through mental gymnastics, bring His standard down to my level?

As long as I continue to consider God's standard to be both true and achievable, then I will keep myself open to the possibility of being made whole. Yes, I might just die no better off than I am now. But then … I also might experience a life I never thought possible!
If, however, I dilute His standard down to my condition, and label myself as the exception—then I have no hope at all of even making any progress.
