Perfection: 1. the act of perfecting 2. a being perfect 3. a personor thing that is the perfecdt embodiment of some quality Perfectionism: obsessive striveing for perfection Perfectionsim is a big problem. I know it got me in a load of trouble. Anorexic, self-mutilation, self-hate, & unhappiness was the big ones. I played the flute for 12 whole years. Those years where horrible.
When I was a teen when I hit a wrong note I would beat my head in with the flute. Bashing my head in. Many years afterward I would joke "that is why my flute always out of tune".
When I was anorexic I would study constantly. I could have memoriezed the book. I had a test coming up and I would study for a test about a week ahead of time. My one friend tryed to stop me from having my nose in the book 24/7/365. She tried her best but it didn't work.
One time I got my test back and got one of the best test scores in the class and got a question right that no one else got right but I was still kicking myself for getting the 2 questions wrong. Kicking myself over and over again. I did that with many other things in my life about that time in my life.
I know thin girls in my school I envied. Girls that was thin and able to eat. I wanted to eat and to be thin and happy. That failed every time because of the fact I was never thin enough for me.
Many years of trying to be perfect failed every time. It will fail for everyone on this world today. Your perfect might be someone else's perfect.
It is useless to be perfect because it will never happen. The only one in the world ever on earth was the man who died on the cross. Yes Jesus Christ. The one and only true Massiah. God's one and only son who died for our sins & 3 days later rose again to be at the right hand of his father. He is the only one. Period.
For many years perfectionism had me. I found God. The trinity. God the Father, God the Son (Jesus) & God The Holy Spirit. God is all three. Jesus Christ is God. The Holy Spirit is God. The Father in Heaven is God.
I know and believe that through faith. I thought for I would never been forgiven. Through God's grace and forgiveness I have been saved. God has forgiven me for my perfectionism. He has forgiven me for my sins.
That don't mean we will never sin again. Remember we are not perfect only God is. All he asked from you is to try your best not to sin.
Now when I make a mistake I just say "God is showing me I'm not perfect" because I know I'm not. I also know who is. I know that from faith.
Perfectionism is not a big deal in my life. The one who is is totally in control because he knows what he is doing. If it was up to me or you the world be a mess.
If you want to come to know the one and only pefect one. Please pray this prayer:
God I'm a sinner. I'm sorry. I believe who you are and what you done for me. Please be with me now and for the rest of my life. In Jesus' Holy Name, AMEN!!!
For those who prayed this prayer congradulation. You are now brothers and sisters in Christ. For those who didn't. Look inside your heart and soul and answer one question. Do you believe is God?
GOD BLESS AND DE-STRESS!!!
