Perfectly not Perfect: a Christmas tale

For me, walking, talking and acting have always been things I’ve tried to make look perfect.

Thinking that man could get perfection, I aimed at it. 

I noticed that the more I tried getting “it”, the more I actually did miss it. 

I’ve been created to be a “man” and when I say man, I mean a human being who would match nothing like perfect. 

On my own, I’m just,

I’m just 

and will always remain just human. 

Days, months and even years have passed and still, I haven’t reached the point of being perfect.

 It’s like none of my struggles are paying off. 

But then, I remembered one night that the birth of SOMEONE made me perfect. Just the birth alone.

Questions are whirling through your head, I know! But just ponder on the birth of Christ. His birth brought hope, revival and renewal. 

His birth brought life and light and his birth brought redemption. 

Having all these looks to me like perfection. I’m not sure I can hide the joy of being perfect in Christ! Salvation completes it all.

Hope, acceptance and renewal. I’m well aware that my humanly flesh can’t get me there but my trust, my salvation and my Christ Jesus can! 

“Christmas”- the celebration of Christ’s birth is something we often time forget its meaning and significance. 

Diving into the “moment” and forgetting the actual reason for the season. The call for redemption awaits you. 

Perfection in Christ is given as a gift after receiving salvation. Something to hold unto. 

I’m not sure if I want to remain the girl who is eager for earthly perfection because I have one that lasts for eternity. 

Something to cling unto like a child while awaiting his return. 

Merry Christmas.
