While at times perfection may seem to be beyond my senses or out of reach that is just illusion. Sometimes I need to remind myself, I am not perfect, nor can I be. The perfection my soul truly seeks, is already present, oftentimes existing quietly and unassumingly all around me, and even within me, despite my efforts.

Perfection… the beauty of the word of God—Love—from intention through fruition abundantly bestowing grace in every place it touches, that is everywhere, all the time.

The word of God is living and effective,
sharper than any two-edged sword,
penetrating even between soul and spirit, joints and marrow,
and able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart.
No creature is concealed from him,
but everything is naked and exposed to the eyes of him
to whom we must render an account. – Hebrews 4:12-13

Perfection… when we strive to be our best… as each of us were created to be, rather than when we strive to be the best.

Prayer and comfortable living are incompatible. – Teresa of Avila, The Way of Perfection
