Imperfect Perfection

♪We cover it all with a crooked smile, but it only lasts for a little while. There's no such thing as perfect people. There's no such thing as a perfect life, so come as you are broken and scarred. Lift up your heart and be amazed and be changed by a perfect God♫ "Perfect People" by Natalie Grant

Perfection. We all strive for it. We all fail in attaining it. What would it be like if we were all perfect? What would that look like? What would we look like?

I heard this song on the radio on my way home tonight, and I have always loved this song, so decided to blog about it and the message it conveys.  It is about perfection. How we try to be perfect. How we fail at trying. And how we serve a perfect God.  As humans, we hate for other people to see our flaws and our weaknesses. You weaknesses and flaws are where you are the most vulnerable, and we try our best and our hardest to cover them up from the rest of the world. But who are we fooling? We all know that we have flaws and we know that every other person has them too. So whats wrong with showing our imperfections and just embracing them?

The chorus of this song is ever so comforting. "Come as you are, broken and scarred. Lift up your heart and be amazed and be changed by a perfect God." We can come to God without fear of ridicule and with all of our weaknesses laid out on the table.  And lucky for us, we serve a perfect God, and He loves us perfect or not.

So the challenge...quit trying to be perfect, embrace your imperfections, and use them to glorify your Lord and Savior.
