Looking to be perfect?

We are surrounded by images of perfect people everywhere.  
Magazines, TV,
​movies and more.  
​Slender bodies, exposing endowed chests, with perfect teeth and skin. 
​

There is so much pressure on teens, college students and all young women to meet a certain criteria.  Is it really normal for all of us to attain this perfect standard?  There is NO perfect person.  

So many try so hard to look like their idols, that they fall victim to eating disorders, drugs to lose weight and emotional issues.   There is no miraculous makeover and all those idols and movie stars, are tucked, pulled, plumped and cut to look as if they are perfect.  Teeth whitened and straightened and skin peeled and plastered with makeup to hid the tiniest flaw.  

These celebrities may have the money and means to change their outside appearance, but their lives are FAR from trouble-free and happy.  Most show clear evidence of inner emptiness. 

• You do not need to be perfect, only God is perfect.    
• You do not need to do anything for God to love you.  
• His love is "free-flowing" and not necessitated by something that we must do. 
• God's love for you never ends!  It is eternal love. 
• God has loved you from your first breath
  
• God is never far from you. 
  
• God's love will NEVER change - unlike the love of the world. 
• As His child, you can NEVER lose His love

If you can imagine God looking down at you, with arms open wide, you will understand His unconditional love for you.  He want the best for you, and for that to happen you need to come to Him as His child.  There is no need for you to measure up to the world, you are perfect in His eyes.  Sure we all make mistakes and mess up, but as we come to Him and ask for guidance and wisdom to direct our path, we get back on the right road. 

Yes, you are perfect.  Just draw close to God and ask for His strength in life.  
​You will be just fine.
