God Made Moms to Teach...We All Have Imperfections

In the world of photoshop and the mental cities of pretense we can easily erase or cover up imperfections. But in the real world we all are walking, talking, and breathing imperfections. There is no perfect woman, man, child, body, or lifestyle. If we would only listen when we interact with others who we have labeled as perfect individuals they voluntarily air all their imperfections. But by no means does this change the look of the person(s) we are now just privy to seeing them in a different light. We all are flawed individuals and we all have our imperfections. We only fool ourselves when we walk around thinking we are not. We are flawed both in and out. To make a point, most of the models and actors/actresses we see on television or on magazines are airbrushed and made up to cover flaws that our eyes would so easily detect but there is always more to what we see. We don't see the whole picture. We don't know what is going on with them when they are not in front of a camera. Even with ourselves, we spend a lot of time and money on hair, clothes, and makeup not just to make ourselves feel good but sometimes to make others think good of us. In hopes of making them think we have it going on as well. Now ladies, can we be described as being superficial or what? The main point I want to drive home is that we all are imperfections wanting to reach perfection and nothing we do on the outside is going to change what's on the inside unless we accept our imperfections along with the grace of God. It is because of imperfection that we are able to receive God's grace and mercy through His son Jesus Christ. God's grace is and always has been sufficient. And one more thing I want to share is that I found out while watching America's Next Top Model that many models are paid top dollar for some of their imperfections, imperfections that make them stick out from other models. Those imperfections don't always make them the best or worst model choice, it just means they may be paid a little more for what makes them different from the rest.

Be blessed and encouraged today, it's a choice. ~ Delphine
