For Less Than Perfect People

I am one of those less than perfect people. I am not a Type A person, and I never will be. Perfect people do not enjoy life, because they are so busy making sure that every detail of their life is absolutely perfect. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"(Romans 3:23) "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.(Romans 5:8) So the people that try to perfect themselves can never attain it. Paul recognized that we have all sinned, but he did not have to look far. "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:"(Romans 5:12)  We don't have to look far either, because we are all in the same boat by birth. To all those attempting to be a perfect person, stop and take a look at yourself.

Never let 'em see you when you're breaking
Never let 'em 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
Never let them see what's underneath
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 scared
Lift up your heart and be amazed
And be changed by a perfect God

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

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

By a perfect God 
Be changed by a perfect God
Be changed
(Perfect People- Natalie Grant)


This is the anthem of so many people. I hope this helps those of us that are struggling with various circumstances in our lives; to know that we have a perfect God. I am thankful that God has chosen to use me a less than perfect person.
