A Daily Devotional

About a perfect world�

Ecclesiastes 7:20 There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins. (NIV)

In this world there is both darkness and light. In this world we have both sin and grace. Our world is horribly imperfect. Defective cells in the human body can turn into the scourge of cancer. Defective upbringing in the life of a child creates a life far short of perfection. Every item ever made by a human hand is in some way defective or imperfect. In a perfect world, there would be no death, no war, no trouble, no sickness, no blotch or blemish of any kind anywhere. However, we are not totally helpless and without resources in our world of imperfection. We are all children of God, fallen, but redeemable. We are all held in the loving hand of God who wants us to see our imperfections. After we see our imperfections God wants us to then try to do something about our blemishes. God does not measure our life according to our doing great things. What God wants most from us is our willingness and effort to overcome our imperfections. In the grandest scale, Christ died on the Cross to give us a chance to deal with our most imperfect and sinful heart. When we look to Christ and surrender our all to Him in humble contrition, we begin to achieve perfection in the eyes of God.
