Spirit of the Eagle

Perfect - a word that has haunted my very existence for as long as I can remember. Be perfect at singing. Be perfect in school. Be the perfect model citizen. Be the perfect wife. Be the perfect mother. Be PERFECT as your Father in Heaven is PERFECT (Matthew 5:48).

ACK! Shoot me now, because it will never happen!

At least, that’s what I thought. Man’s definition of perfect as opposed to what is meant by God are two totally different things. God is not asking for us to be impeccable in all we do. He is asking that we be whole, not lacking in anything spiritually or emotionally.

No one can really be perfect. We are all born with issues, we develop issues, we die with issues. The perfection we can attain is in being whole and worshiping God with our whole selves. This is the perfection to which I aspire, now that I know He didn’t mean without flaw.
