Perfection is God, not human!

"And He did not need anyone to bear witness concerning man [needed no evidence from anyone about men], for He Himself knew what was in human nature.  [He could read men's hearts.] John 2:25 AMP

God knows us, and He knows that we are not perfect, which means we can stop trying so darn hard to be.  Perfection is God, not human, and as humans, we will always fall short.  Some of us, myself included, practically kill ourselves trying to be perfect, and all we are doing is using precious energy, frustrating our lives, and overwhelming our hearts - essentially, wasting precious time. All God  wants from us is our undying love and faith in Him and to give Him our imperfect selves; and, in turn, He will turn us more and more into His perfect likeness.  

So, trust in God to perfect you; do the best you can in all situations, and cut yourself some slack when you fall short.  Life is too short, God loves you too much, and there is nothing you can do that is going to allow you to be the perfect human.  As a matter of fact, be honored when you fall short, because if your faith is true, and you hand your imperfection over to Him, you can be witness to some amazing miracles that will soon come to pass in your life ... and, boy-oh-boy, His miracles are not something we ever want to miss!!
