Dear Friends,
Perfection. A hard place to come by. Maybe a hole-in-one golf shot. Or a 1600 on the SAT test. Or the number 9 being a perfect square. Shots and scores and squares… but people? Not so much.
You would think that eighty years of living experience would get you closer. Maybe clean up some bad habits or smooth some rough edges or straighten out some crooked relationships. Perhaps yes, but not so much.
The daily stuff of living keeps knocking at the door of being human. Ideals such as perfection and completeness remain just that… ideals.
God offers another idea, another reality. Our identity is in Him, in His perfection, not ours. We never were created to be anyone but His, including our imperfection.
“In Him you have been made complete…” Colossians 2:10
“He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion on the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:6
Enjoy the summer and the “already but not yet” of Whose you are.
