Perfection....Not a requirement

"No body's perfect!", I can't count the times I've heard or said this phrase as I can imagine you have too. Funny thing is I often find myself trying to be. It's like my brain knows this truth, the fact that we are all human and prompt to make mistakes, but I'm constantly competing against that.

I wonder, what if they see that I don't have it all together? They probably do. What if I disappoint them? I probably have. What if they stop loving me? Truth is, they probably wont.

In the past year, I've experienced one of the most amazing gifts anyone could ever posses...Community. I've been surrounded by God loving people who know what love is all about. I've seen acceptance, I've seen selflessness, patience, mercy and grace. And, though I often struggle when I know that my flaws are extremely evident, I'm constantly reminded of God's unconditional love through the love and acceptance I see and receive from my community.

I'm encouraged to be the best Pris I can be. I'm encouraged to treat others with love and respect, as I would also want to be treated. I'm encouraged to put my very best into everything I do and I hope you are too. Let's also be encouraged in knowing that we are loved just as we are and that to God and to those who truly love us, perfection is not a requirement. That sure makes me happy...
