Perfection. Is not to be achieved in this life. God never intended us to even desire perfection in this human flesh. Jesus came in complete perfection when he was on earth. That is out model. We do not have to earn or strive for it while we live here. Simplicity of the cross makes us not have to try anymore. Isn't this world full of commercials, voices, and examples of how we need to be perfect. It is almost tiring. At the end of the day we still feel as stressed and worn out as we did the day before. We will never be perfect. The blood of Jesus washes away our carnality and then He sees us as perfect. So what is the point of rearranging the outer when the inner is already secure in His perfectness. It bothers me that my desires are so earthly. We want, want, want during this time of the year. I'm just so thankful that the perfect, pure, awesome power of the blood of Jesus is covering me. Without it I would still be striving to be something I am not. This is a good time to go before Him.
Lord, thank you that you sent your son Jesus. His sacrifice reflects how perfect you are. I love that you want me to come as I am. Father cover me while I walk around in this earthly suit. Quicken my spirit to pray when my desires are not your desires. In Jesus name, amen.
