Not perfect
Filed under: Ron's Reflections
Posted by: site admin @ 11:54 am

I don’t care for the fact that I am not perfect.  Being a minister carries responsibilities.  There are those who are counting on me for a ‘word’ from God.  So, when I find myself reacting in less than godly ways I become disappointed in myself. 

 

But as I reflect on this I also realize that such times draw me closer to God who not only accept me as I am but gives me strength to go on.  In fact God does not demand perfection.  He created humans to not be perfect but to give Him the glory He deserves. 

This brings me to where I am tonight as I write these words.  I will be in conversation with God and soak in His love and acceptance.  His gracious ways with me allow me to be gracious with others who are not perfect either.  I may not care for my imperfections but perhaps I should be.  My weaknesses can be God’s strength.
