Perfection is something everyone strives for, but yet everyone also knows that there is no such thing. So why do we constantly strive to be something we are not? I've realized that there are many areas in my life in which I'm trying to be perfect. The perfect student, the perfect friend, the perfect daughter, the perfect girl, the perfect dresser, the perfect speaker. Anything that will bring glory for all the wrong reasons. But as of lately I'm seeing that all of those standards are unreachable and silly. The more I think about my obsession to be good at everything, the more I see that I am falling away from who I really am.
I am a sinner, and I am broken. Those are the facts and there is nothing that I can do to change that. I need to remember to stay humble because in these perfections I am losing myself. With perfection I am trapped, but I have an ability to be free. I have a savior that loves me for all the imperfections I have. Once I let go of the focus on myself, I will find so much more peace and happiness. I will find more about who I really am, a follower of the Lord.
So this is me giving up the perfection and moving into the realness of it all.
