Perfect for this moment
Perfect.
The word that seem to have lost its purpose since it is deemed impossible to attain all the time. i somehow disagree, It is actually how u look at it :)
One night while spending my time with Jesus, i was thinking of HER. yes... HER. I went WOAH!! LORD!! HOW DID U MAKE HER?? Her movements, laughter, smile (i've a liking to mesmerizing smiles XD) She's beautiful! (if u know me by now, i try to choose my words carefully, beautiful is not one used carelessly as far as i'm concerned ) She completely dazzled me *.* i would ga ga over her b4 God. I talk to him bout almost anything under the sun! so this is one of them XD
i went "She is PERFECT!!!"
Then Jesus went "Son, u know she isn't, she HAS weaknesses u know"
"But she fits EVERYTHING I LISTED IN MY HEART!! ( hah... everything BUT the spiritual ones that is..) she's like a perfect human wife!! *grins..." Aaah... i was so in love...
Then the punch line comes... "Did it ever cross your mind that i thought of u like that??"
i paused, then i saw myself through the eyes of God. I look so very beautiful, so complete, so.. perfect.. there was no mistake in my creation. I almost feel that i was looking at the image of me in God's mind when he formed me! it was, WOAH!! i never thought i was like that in your sight!!
( one of the bonds God relate to us is husband n wife, check out Isaiah n Jeremiah, also Ephesians 5:22-33v)
HER is the 2nd and last Girl I thus gave up by the command of my Lord. No! It ain't easy at all!! Feeling? Its like i dug out my heart and put it on the alter. I love Jesus :) Your not alone in "heart" problems!! Let no girl get between you and Jesus! I'd die without Jesus, He do i now trust for my perfect wife :P In the mean time, I'll go enjoy my teen and single season!!! .. Plz do understand this is not MY FAITH! that allows me to give up things for God. Its not my "spiritual strength". If u know how many times i tried to backslide, you will know i'm so very weak. But its the same reason why i ALWAYS fail to backslide, simply put, i will really die without Jesus. I dont know how to explain but in short, its not my strength but something God did.
We have defined being perfect in this world on the level of how u please people. Once u got something that this person don like, it becomes YOUR imperfection. So isn't your perfection very subjective to each evaluation of you? thus this is not quite reliable because its just what people THINK of you.
We Christians then defined being perfect in respect to Jesus. Which is correct!
So whats the problem? well, in both cases, we seem very imperfect. One, we will somehow piss people off (most of the times u don even know why! >.< )Second, since we've all been trying to be like him, you should know why sometimes we ain't successful^^ its very duh.. as its unattainable for both.
Now, how are we perfect?
You see, A piano chair is perfect for a person playing piano. A netball net is perfect for netball game etc. You see, everything is made for a specific purpose. No doubt some can multi serve yet it is still made for something specific. Like a stool, u can sit on it or put your leg on it OR use it as a mini table. Now think about us. EVERYONE of us is PERFECTLY MADE for a SPECIFIC purpose. NONE of us is the same, similar but never the same. The job that God has made us to do, no one could do it better. Like a puzzle piece, even though each have different edge (think strength n weaknesses) we all complete one big picture! one missing will destroy the beauty of it. We are made perfectly in God's eyes to complete his work. if God wanted us to be made differently, he would have done so then but no! We are made thus. Check out Ephesians 1 verse 4,5,11. we were CHOSEN n predestinated.
Then there is God's definition of us being perfect. Look up 2nd chronicles 25:2. You have to read the whole chapter to understand the context. God's "perfect" meant us having the Fear of him, complete obedience and also your heart towards God. With the once in a while mistakes n bloopers aside, God's perfect of us is when we get obsessed with him n do whatever he says. Our HEART's love towards him. THAT is perfect with God.
So dear beloveds, Don get depressed when you fail, beat up yourself when you make a mistake, feel empty when you are feeling lousy. Know This!! The Eyes of God has not left you and You are significant to him in every aspect. He's made you for a specific reason. He loves you so much that those does not matter anymore. He loves you so much that your weaknesses, mistakes everything that you deemed bad about yourself seems so small. Your tears, your love, your cry, your smile is those things that is significant to him. In essence, lets stop trying to be perfect in all the wrong ways but love God! for that is the perfect life to live and the perfect thing to do. It is also what makes us perfect ^^ Beloveds, Go to him as you are? :)
I hope this will edify at least some of you, because knowing I'm special in His eyes has changed my life forever. I pray you all will know him more and more. I'm not doing this because I'm "spiritually fit" or any of that crap, I just gave out what blessed me :) As you freely receive, freely give out is it not?? :)
With much love unrefined,

hm..
HIYA shawny!
?? >.< ??
Maybe sometimes we ought to look at ourselves more and reflect instead of writing so much you know. God's great and it's great you have such a passion but we shouldn't just be blinded by what we want to see. But look at how things are through God's eyes. Not everything is perfect, you've got to learn we live in a broken world and the ONLY perfect thing we have is God. Cheerios. No offense. :)
doooood, u misunderstood his point completely.
btw, its nice to leave your name down when typing such things.
