Read Abang's blog.. Reminded of the ad by NCSS recently.. "Beautifully imperfect" caught my attention.
Everything about life is imperfect but it can be beautiful at the same time. Isnt it said that "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder." As I behold my family, my friends, and my life, what do I see? Beauty or imperfections?
A wonderful combination of beauty and imperfections. It reminds me to be truthful about my life. I dont have to put on the fake front that everything is perfect but it can be as beautiful. Sometimes I dont dare to face the imperfections in my life because it makes me downcast.
To be able to see the imperfections and appreciate the beauty behind goes beyond beautiful. It make me more courageous to face the future, for I have no fear of imperfections or failures anymore. I know there is beauty in all..
My sister broke down, but the beauty is that my dad is there to support her. He talks to her and advice her. My dad is far from perfect, but I saw beauty in him just last night. My mum was a drug addict, far from perfect, but beautiful in her diligence and care for the family. My sis' life deviates from what we normally would want, her beauty? In the way she cares for her relationship in her life.
God, you created the world perfect and beautiful. Right now, perfection has been tarnished by us. (Forgive us, Lord.) N beauty us what devil seeks to destroy. It seems hopeless to me. Yet I remember David's proclamation in Ps 27:13, "I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living."
