The Friday Word(s): Absolute Perfection

Try This on for size:

When we come to the end of our belief that everything we portray needs to be seen by the world as perfect, our obsession with ourselves as perfect, which is a façade exhausting to uphold, is replaced by our deep understanding that we are already perfect in pursuit of our best selves as we are created by God in heaven.

Indeed, there is a perfection for us to pursue; in His image, by His design, under His direction.

…and of course C.S. Lewis:

“..the goal towards which He is beginning to guide you is absolute perfection; and no power in the whole universe, except you yourself, can prevent Him from taking you to that goal.”

 

alas, we confuse the goal.
