Perfection and Winning.
The dictionary defines these two words as follows.
perfection
1 : the quality or state of being perfect: such as
freedom from fault or defect : FLAWLESSNESS
2: an unsurpassable degree of accuracy or excellence
winning
1: a captured territory : CONQUEST
2: successful especially in competition
Into each of us is a desire for everything in our lives and the lives of our children and family to be perfect (flawless). If it were within our power every mountain would be low and every valley high and every moment without worry, fear, problems or difficulties.
When we do face any problems of life or even play a sport or a game, built into us is the deep desire to win (conquest). To conquer all and to be the best.
Do not try to convince yourself that this is not true. People everywhere in everyway are seeking perfection and a winning life.
What does perfection look like???
Is it not different for different people?
For those who love the beach it could be a house on the beach with caretakers and awesome landscape and never a storm in the sky.
For you who love the mountains it could be a beautiful retreat in the mountains surrounded by the beauty of nature and all God created.
For those who love city life, it could be a home in the middle of all the hustle and bustle of the city with not one problem or bump in the road.
For those facing illness or disease it could be a body without flaws or pain and energy and strength to do all that is in their heart.
I could continue but you get the picture!!
We play every game to win. To be the best. To succeed and to accomplish greatness.
BUT: Life is not perfect, and we do not win every time. We all know troubles and turmoil and things that are far from perfect enter our lives.
We lose sometimes and we struggle sometimes, and we cry sometimes.
But the good news is that in the midst of all of that we can have Joy and Peace if we know the Love of our Creator through believing in Jesus Christ.
JESUS SAID IN JOHN 16:33
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
We can have the peace of perfection and the joy of winning despite all that is going on in our lives. Jesus already took care of it!! We are on the winning side and He gives us perfect peace which is the ultimate perfection.
Jesus will speak peace to your storm and perfection to your heart!!
May we live life on the winning team:::: Team Jesus!!!!!!
