We all have our own preconceived ideas about perfection. The perfect body, house, kids and the lists go on and on. I have been having some painting done in my house. I have noticed as one wall gets finished I find something else that needs perfecting. Isn't that just like us as human beings?
I have been trying to lose a certain amount of weight around my mid-section. It has been about a year now, and I am getting it almost to where I want it. So now I am working growing my hair longer. As I was looking at my hair, a thought popped in my head to just tuck it behind my ears, so I did and it looked ok. All day yesterday I kept going by the mirror to see if I thought it looked okay. Even though I have had several compliments about it, I was the one with the image problem. Yes, you heard me right I have a image problem.
Like most of us, we are not sure of ourselves or have insecurities lurking in the back of our mind. I know I do. In the past, I would not have admitted this, but I think by dealing with what is on the inside of me I can get to the real problem. That would be just to love myself the way God loves me. He sees me already perfect and if I can ever see the way He sees me. Well, that would be great. Perfection to God is totally different than what we know. Gal. 5:22- talks a little about Fruit of the Spirit, which is love, joy, peace, long suffering, patience, and a few others.
Take time today and see yourself as love, joy, peace, kind. See if this doesn't change the way you think about perfection.
