Your Life Will Never Be Perfect

"Life does not have to be perfect to be wonderful." Annette Funicello

 Maybe in your life today, you are waiting for this to happen before you are truly happy. You are waiting for this answered prayer or for that person to forgive you. You are waiting for your life to be perfect; but let me tell you, that you will be waiting forever, for perfection is never going to come.
 Now, I think that so many people have the idea that, for their life to be truly wonderful, then it must be perfect. They feel that all the people that should, would apologize, they would be more financially stable, they would have a bigger house, that relationship would be mended, and so on; but see, all of these things and all of the things that maybe you are waiting for to be perfect today, they are never going to be. God didn't create us to live a life of absolute perfection, but it is the hard times and the moments in which we have no other choice but to kneel down and pray that we go through in order to grow our relationship with God! Not only that, the path the God has created you to walk along isn't just a straight path neatly aligned with flowers and perfectly paved. No, but that road has bumps, it has twists and turns and even a few holes here and there, but that is how God created it! And He did so so that we aren't able to see everything that lies ahead and plan it all out, for if we were, we would have nothing to trust God with, but He has created this winding bumpy road so that you don't have any other choice then to trust Him with it.
 So today, stop waiting for your life to be perfect for it to be wonderful, for you are never going to reach perfection. Instead, just enjoy where it is that God has you, and let these challenges shape you and mold you into the person that He has you to be. Don't get discouraged when the road gets bumpy or you have to maneuver your way around the twists and turns, but instead, just trust God with it, and keep on going. Doing these things today, that is how you are going to start living a wonderful life. Granted, it is not one of perfection, in fact, it is not even close, and frankly never will be, but it is the life that God has you live, and that is more than any of us could ever hope for. So today, go out, and live your wonderful life.
