Understanding Perfection June 12th, 2023

“God, who needs nothing, loves into existence wholly superfluous creatures in order that He may love and perfect them.” - C.S. Lewis

Isn’t it wonderful to know that God knows you’re not perfect? He knows you are still learning and growing and becoming the woman He meant for you to be. He knows your imperfections and He makes it His aim to love you into being more than you are today. When you strive to learn more of Him and what He would want for you, and when you observe His Spirit in others and respond to it, He is able to instruct you and give you opportunities to grow. You are His beloved and He is proud of you each time you take a step in His direction.

God knows that human beings are imperfect. He knows that we make a lot of mistakes and that we make a lot of foolish choices. He is not sitting by in some cosmic arena waiting to see how many bad decisions you’ll make, or how many times you might turn your back from Him. He’s cheering you on, extending grace and mercy to you in every possible way.

Bless the work God is doing in your life and offer applause and praise and shouts of joy for what you are doing together.

“As for God, His way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; He shields all who take refuge in Him.” - Psalm 18:30 NIV

Let us pray: “Thank you, Lord, for keeping watch over us and guiding us to perfectly love You in our hearts, souls, and minds. Father God, hear our prayers of intentions from today, from our prayer wall and for any unmentioned prayers in our hearts.. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.
