Imperfections

Everyone has imperfections. Many of us strive to get rid of them and become perfect. Perfection is something we can't achieve because we're humans. Imperfections are something we can't avoid, so why not make the best  of them?

Last summer, I found out about the band Days Difference. I was listening to them in the car, when the song "Imperfections" came on. I was with my mom, who rarely listens to secular music. There's a line in the chorus that says "I'm not sorry for all my imperfections. I felt like I needed to explain the song to my mom, which I didn't, and then God started speaking through me. I spoke about how we have imperfections because we need God. If we were perfect and everything went right, then we wouldn't need God. Since we fall short of perfection, we need God to make things right. It made me realize that I'm not sorry about all my imperfections. I don't need to be perfect to be used by God, no one does. Jesus is perfect because He is God's son and washed away all of our sins at the cross.

I am constantly striving to be perfect, thinner, wanted, loved, accepted, beautiful, etc. We are all specially created in God's image and beautiful in God's eyes. There are many imperfections that I want to change about myself, but I can't do it alone. We all have to lean on Jesus to be made new everyday. We fail everyday, but we're extremely blessed to have such an amazing God that forgives us all the time. There's hope in Jesus that you can change and become the person God has created you to be. God bless you as you work on becoming a better person.

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" - 2 Corinthians 5:17
