We're All Perfectly Imperfect

Everyone has at least one black hair. The really strong, ruthless black hair that grows back every time you pluck it, shave it, wax it or laser it. Okay, if you really just said to yourself "not me", then tell me about that obnoxious inch and a half blonde hair you found growing from your jawline the other day? Still saying "nope, not me", well then go to the bathroom, give yourself a close look-over in some good light, it's there believe me. Go. Seriously, I'll wait here.

This is good for you. It's humbling. Everyone's got at least one hair they can't beat (whether they know it or not and whether they admit it or not). It's what makes us human. And it's just more proof we aren't "perfect". But guess what, THAT'S OKAY! Because thanks to my gracious, loving, and perdy darn smart husband who introduced me to this, I have something to say about that.

WE'RE ALL PERFECTLY IMPERFECT.

"What does that mean?", you ask? Well let me explain. We humans, we can't be perfect on this earth. We just can't. We are to strive to be perfect as our Heavenly Father is perfect, which means we are to be as much like Jesus as we can, more-so everyday. But we will never be perfect as we were created to be until we are united with Jesus in Heaven. So while we are here on this earth, at this given moment, with all our strengths and weaknesses, goods and bads, sins and victories, we are as perfect as we are gonna get. We're perfectly imperfect. And we're perfectly loved by a perfect God. Regardless of what we do, what we did, what we look like, what we struggle with we are perfectly loved.

So I have an idea. What if we embraced that? What if we embraced the fact that we're all imperfect and so we have nothing to hide? What if there was no shame, no comparison, no secret footholds? What if you embraced who you are in your human entirety and just lived? What if you stopped hiding? What if?

Just an idea ;) But i'm runnin' with it. 'Cuz it's freeing. Try it.
