Perfection

1 John 3:2 NLT

2 Yes, dear friends, we are already God's children, and we can't even imagine what we will be like when Christ returns. But we do know that when he comes we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is.

So many times we struggle trying to be perfect. We know what to do yet, we don’t do it. And the things we shouldn’t do somehow we end up doing them. I love the ministry at our church called Celebrate Recovery. I think I love it so much because it helps us recognize that no one can obtain perfection here on earth. We all struggle with hurts, habits, and hang-ups.

What is so very important to remember is that you are a work in progress. God doesn’t expect you to be perfect; he knows you will make mistakes. I take great solace in this verse in 1 John that says we won't be perfectly like Jesus until we’re able to see Jesus perfectly. That day is quickly approaching, the Second Advent . . . Christ coming after His Bride.
