I recently saw the following quote: "Perfect people aren't real and real people aren't perfect. You can either love them for their flaws or hate them for being real." None of us are perfect, but in our real lives we can try to live up to the image of our Creator and have love for everyone!
God is love and truth. To live up to His image or expectations, we need to commit our lives to Him and following His direction. We need to move away from sin and our old selves and move toward His love, truth, and perfection. While we cannot reach perfection, we can be real about our quest to live for God. We can love others in spite of both our flaws and theirs. We can be real about our journeys and God's gift of salvation!
Be real, show love, and live so others can see God!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your love and salvation. Help me to be real and to spread Your presence, love, and glory to others. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
