My cousin posted on Facebook yesterday a deep thought…
Today I’m closely examining the delicate balance between desiring self-improvement and experiencing acceptance of myself.
If I feel the need to be a better person, can I still accept myself the way I am?
If I achieve complete self acceptance, will I still feel the need to be better?
I responded with…
Are you looking for peace? Grace? Forgiveness? Love? Acceptance? You. I. Everyone. is created with a hole in your life and heart that is in the shape of God. And only he fits into that hole.
Are you looking for the last puzzle piece? You know when it’s missing throughout the building of a jigsaw puzzle. Some pieces seem to fit. But not really quite right.
Seeking. Searching. It’s our life purpose. Find the piece that fits perfectly and surrender the striving for perfection or acceptance .. it’s all been done. Simple acceptance. No action but faith. No price to pay. Redeemed. Blessed. Forgiven. Clean. Balanced. Healed. Washed.
