Perfectly Imperfect

Such a contradiction, such a strange idea.

But what is perfection? Nothing can be perfect; we're all flawed. Because we're sinners. The only thing that's perfect is God. As a Christian, I know that God, the Trinity, that's perfection.

So why is it that when we cannot, CANNOT, be perfect, we try so hard to be the world's definition of perfect? Be pretty, be smart, be funny, wear these clothes, like these things, weigh this much. Or we say, "Forget it" and quit trying.

I don't think either option is a good one. Because we will never, ever, be perfect. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. We need to strive for what God wants us to be, not the world.

And it makes me so sad when I see people HATING themselves because they can't attain what they think is perfection.

Don't focus on the world, focus on God. You're perfectly imperfect, the way He made you.
