THE ART OF ACCEPTING OUR IMPERFECTIONS
We are always striving to be the very best that we can be. On that quest, we try to successfully maneuver our way through trials and temptations, hoping to be seen in a positive light, by others. At times we find it difficult to accept the shortcomings of our family, friends and peers, while also struggling with the imperfections that we see within ourselves. Human nature drives us to seek perfection in our situations and circumstances; even though we know that there are no perfect individuals walking among us on earth. God did not design us to be perfect, but He did create us to live our lives by the example of His Son, Jesus Christ. At the start of man’s existence, a decision was made out of disobedience that caused sin to fall upon each one of us at birth, this is written in Psalm 51:5. It is very important that we accept this truth, because we can’t work towards the life that God desires for us if we don’t recognize that we all fall short and were born with imperfections. Refusing to accept that we are imperfect, stifles our pathway to growth and blessings. There are times when we blame others for our circumstances, hold grudges and struggle to forgive when we have been hurt or falsely accused. We often view our imperfections as garments of inadequacy and some of us never overcome our insecurities. While on this journey, it is important for us to establish a close and personal relationship with God. When we do that, we begin to understand why our imperfections hold a significant place in our development. Our imperfections can break us down and destroy us OR they can create resolve and challenge us to rise to the occasion! This has the ability to move us forward, build and strengthen our character and help us live the life that God intends for us to live. REMEMBER....You were fearfully and wonderfully made!
