I'm not sure what I'm waiting for, but I do know that I'm waiting for something to be perfect before I write on this blog.
Maybe it's the topic.
Or the words.
It could be my mood that I'd like to be just right, but then again, maybe it's my hair. (which is far from perfect even though I just got a 60$ haircut. Don't ask. That's another blog post entirely.)
I decided to break the silence and stop waiting for perfect and just write. If I wait for perfect, the world is going to slip by without me because it's broken and in no way can manifest perfection.
So what's the good news in all of this? you ask.
It's that God doesn't wait for you to be perfect, doesn't wait for me to be perfect. He wants our imperfect hearts, lives and souls. It's so simple, really. He's already made us perfect through Jesus. No more waiting. It's done. And it doesn't get much perfect-er than that.
Go ahead. Jump into whatever it is that's calling your name long before perfect comes down the pike. Long before you've got your ducks in a row, planets aligned, checkbook balanced. Tomorrow those things won't be. Because, you see, in this world perfect never comes and stays.
Yet perfect, in Jesus Christ, is already here. And will last forever.
So what are you waiting for?
