My idea perfection is on the human level but that does not meet God’s standards. My perfection has to be according to our “Father which is in heaven.” My imperfections are no challenge to God if I yield my heart completely to him.

Although my wife has been very faithful in helping me identify the areas
of imperfection in my life, I have learned something very special. As a 
wife, that seems to be her job to help improve her husband. But, as a 
husband, that aspect of life is completely and absolutely off-limits. 

You don't believe me? Okay, husbands, go tell your wife what is wrong
with her and how she can fix it. Don't worry; I'll say something nice 
at your funeral. 

Through the years, I have enjoyed my imperfections because I do not
allow them to harass me or even to define me. If I fix everything that 
is wrong with me, what in the world would I do next? Start fixing my 
wife's imperfections? 

I remember when my imperfections suddenly did not mean much to me. That
was when little children began invading our home. Once they began 
arriving, everything about me in my perfections flew out the window. 
Now, and I am so thankful for it, everything is about those little 
children. Nobody is looking at me, but everybody is looking at my 
children. 

I think that is why God gives us children. It deflects the attention
from us to those cute, perfect little pre-adults. God is so wise in 
what he does. 

In thinking about perfection, I cannot help but go to a Scripture verse
that talks about it. “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father 
which is in heaven is perfect” (Matthew 5:48). 

My idea perfection is on the human level but that does not meet God's
standards. My perfection has to be according to our “Father which is in 
heaven.” 

My imperfections are no challenge to God if I yield my heart completely
to him.
