Perfection

Never let Him see you when you're breaking
And never let Him see you when you fall
That's how we live
And that's how we try

Tell the world you've got it all together
And never let him see what's underneath
We cover it up with a crooked smile
But it only lasts for a little while

There's no such thing as perfect people
There's no such thing as a perfect life
So come as you are, broken and scarred
Lift up your heart and be amazed
And be changed by a perfect God, yeah

Suddenly it's like a weight is lifted
When you hear the words that you are loved
He knows where you are and where you've been
And you never have to go there again, no

There's no such thing as perfect people
And there's no such thing as a perfect life
So come as you are, broken and scarred
Lift up your heart and be amazed
And be changed by a perfect God

Who lived and died to give new life
To heal our imperfections
So look up and see love
And let grace be enough, oh

There's no such thing as perfect people, yeah
There's no such thing as a perfect life
So come as you are, broken and scarred
Lift up your heart and be amazed
And be changed by a perfect God

By a perfect God, yeah
By a perfect God, yeah
By a perfect God
By a perfect God

Be changed by a perfect God
Be changed
 (These are lyrics to Natalie Grant's "Perfect People")

We don't know what perfect is. You won't ever find a person who completes you. There is no such thing as unconditional love.

Without God.

For me, this concept is very hard to grasp. I've been a firm believer in fairy tales for years and years now(and still am ps). I knew, for the most part, that almost everyone doesn't get that perfection/fairy tale life that they seek. That most everyone has flaws, and every relationship you have, with your mom, your sister, whoever, won't be perfect.

...

But I kinda thought I would be the exception.

...

And I guess we all think that.

...

Well, I can say, no one is perfect. Especially me. I love the lyric in this song "let grace be enough." It just screams at me. I feel so often that I need to get to a certain standard, or other people need to get to a certain standard. But I can never attain that certain standard of perfection.

So let grace be enough.

Soak in those words.

Let grace be enough.

Amen.

Don't ever wish you had a different life. Be appreciative of the relationships God has given you, because they are perfectly imperfect in His eyes.

So go be perfectly imperfect you.
Let grace be enough
