Perfection

"When what is perfect comes, everything imperfect will pass away." - 1st Corinthians 13:10

This one truth can tell us so much about our lives. How do we know if we've made the right decision about something? How do we know we're on the right path? I've been learning in the last couple of months that what we really want out of life is what God wants for us, because He was the one that put that desire in us. But so many times, especially when we're younger, we don't know what that is. It's as simple as how Paul puts it here: when what is perfect comes, everything imperfect will pass away. The moment that you make a decision about something, you should feel in your being if that decision has brought you peace or brought you anxiety. What is perfect brings you peace. What is perfect will light you on fire so that you shine and never look back on that darkness you have left behind, except to thank God for where He's taken you. When you find what is perfect, in terms of a relationship, a job, a new home, anything, all will fall into place for you. Of course, there are always struggles, but God helps you get to where you need to be. The imperfect bring us fruitless worry, strife, and continuing on that path is like going against the wind in a storm. It can only take you further back in life making a mess of everything else.

But how are you able to make the decision to choose what is perfect? By quietening yourself down, and giving God's voice the chance to break through the noise in your own head. The Spirit within you will feel drawn to what is perfect, without doubts or hesitations, to the will of God for you.

Today's Prayer:
My Lord Jesus, You are perfection in my life. You bring out the best in me and help rid me of all my hurtful imperfections. Help me be quiet to hear You and be able to see the perfect things You have planned for me ahead. In Your Name we pray, amen.
