In case you have not noticed by now, I am not perfect. I have not been, am not, and will never be able to hold the honor of perfection.
And you know what? This does not bother me. Although I wish dearly that I could prove myself and always do what is right, I know that I will fail. I am aware that no matter how much I resist, I will be tempted with sin for my entire life.
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Romans 3:23
The truth that I cling to is that I will not have to fight this battle on my own. I know without a shadow of a doubt that God is by my side. It is through Him that I am cleansed and can become as close to perfect as I can be in my earthly body. I anxiously await the day that I will be able to be clothed in garbs as white as freshly fallen snow and know that I am indeed perfect.

I am off to the beach, my lovelies. My attempts to gain a tan will most likely backfire (like they always do) and I will return looking like this guy:

I am so relived that I am not alone!
ReplyDeleteI do not make promises I cannot keep. ;) I will try my best to not become said sea creature but, alas, my pale skin is like a magnet for sunrays. I am a native Floridian but I cannot tan to save my life...go figure.
I wish I could be perfect! You will get a tan. I hope. The stupid lobster guy is not you! :) Don't worry my lovely.
ReplyDeleteI struggle with knowing that I will never be perfect until I reach Heaven, too. But then I remember that Jesus died for me, even with all my imperfections :)
ReplyDeleteI can never get a tan. I always end up looking like "that guy", too.
I'm glad I found your blog! :D
