Sometimes, I feel as if people on the outside looking in view us as perfect. They think because we look all put together on the outside, that must simply mean, we are put together on the inside. My friends, let me tell you how wrong this truly is. There is so much people do not see that causes hurt and heartache in one's life that we are very unaware of. We don't see everything on the inside when looking at the outside. We just don't. People even see me as perfect or that I look like I have everything put together. I simply do not, though. My life is very messy. Sometimes I make these messes on my own, and dig my own holes and try to fight my own battles. In all honesty though, I am far from perfect. I am just as broken and damaged as the next guy and that my friends is what makes me and you and all of us, human. I have battled with my inner emotions a lot recently. Dealing with crud in my life that I don't want to face, so I push it aside. Someone told me today how strong I am, but my friends, I am weak. I fall to my knees in the presence of Jesus especially. I just don't understand how a God who is simply perfection would love little ol' me. I am very undeserving of such love, but He gives it anyway.
I think something that has been sitting with me lately is how much we need to care for our community. We need to care in all different kinds of ways and part of that caring is realizing that none of us are perfect. There was and is only one perfect being in this world and that is Jesus Christ. Jesus came down from His perfect solitude in Heaven next to His Father so He could be with us. How cool is that, oh man! The moments when I realize I am imperfect are hard, to say the least. For some reason, I feel like I have to be fine or measure up to everyone else's expectations of me. This, my friends, is just not a reality. How can I be fine all the time? The answer is, I can't. The truth is we will never measure up. We will never be perfect. But, the good news is, we don't have to be.
