Day 12: Perfectly Imperfect

So if you want me to make you an espresso,
I will leave a MESS.
I don't try to, but no matter how hard I
try to not make a MESS
a MESS is created.
When my hubby rolls his eyes at the MESS,
I gently remind him
that we all have
WEAKNESSES
and we all have STRENGTHS.
And one of my WEAKNESSES
is creating a
MESS when I make espresso,
well actually
whenever I am in the kitchen.
But I just have to chuckle
because I so believed that I could
achieve PERFECTION in all areas of my life.
And oh how I MESSED that up too
because
PERFECTION does not exist,
but only in the eyes of our CREATOR
when HE sees us covered by HIS SON.
For we are PERFECTLY IMPERFECT
and that is why GOD LOVES US.
Now how did I get from sharing my MESSY espresso station
to being PERFECTLY LOVED by GOD?
Because I need GOD to LOVE me PERFECTLY,
so that when I do make
a MESS
HE gently reminds me that I am
"FLAWLESS"
