I was making my to-do list on my way to make (trying) my perfect orderly life. Then this song came across.
"Seek to be perfected by God in all your ways and in your ways". Did I ask God whether these are what you required of me in my perfect to-do list.
God has given human beings a vision of 20/20 meaning one can see clearly at a distance of 20ft. To put that into perspective,eagle has the visual acuity of 20/5-meaning it can see at 20 feet what a human with 20/20 vision would need to be 5 feet away from to see. Eyes are a miracle-it is the proof of divine in itself.
At times,we neglect to do what we can do for fear of perfection.Yes,it is true that "perfect is the enemy of done".It sometimes paralyzes us from doing nothing at all.
What ignites Perfectionism?
The pursuit of excellence which is something which we determine to do within our limited resouces and talents. Perfectionism necessarily roots in from our desire to seek acceptance and fear of rejection.
When Jesus asked us to be perfect in Mathew 5:48 as your Heavenly Father is, he meant not to sin in anger,lust,retaliation, and to seek to even love our enemies. Jesus already bought us our perfectionism by living and dying a perfect life on the cross.
God wants us to be free from the tyranny of fear and pride. He has all our issues covered perfectly. He asks us to pursue love out of perfectionism. Live a child-like life, through acts of love.
Have a wonderful life!!!
