You Don't Have to be Perfect

How many of us are constantly seeking perfection? Whether it’s in our family, our careers, our appearance, or our finances, at one time or another we are looking for perfection. It is easy to get wrapped up in what we want our lives to be like that you forget to live today. You have to make an effort not to allow yourself to get lost in the Land of Perfection.

The bottom line is it doesn’t exist, only one person was ever perfect and his name was Jesus Christ. So know that you’re going to make mistakes, you’re going to fall down, and you’re going to fall short. It is a part of life and more importantly it is a part of growing up. What you must know is that life is meant to be lived and it should be lived walking your entire life according to the divine destiny that God has sculpted for you. The Bible says, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart: I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." (Jeremiah 1:5). That let’s you know that despite your imperfection that your existence in itself is a part of God’s perfect plan.
