Overcoming imperfections

All humans are imperfect, all of us have something wrong with our bodies. As opposed to an unknown, lurking disaster, blessed are those who know of and admit these weaknesses; in this way, we can avoid more serious injury. Poor choices and mistakes may cause injuries that are visible for as long as we live. There may be scars inside as well as outside our bodies and sometimes there may be some degree of pain associated with these conditions. Our bodies are fearfully and wonderfully made, which allows some level of physical healing. Besides this, and more serious for our future life, our thoughts and actions will eventually produce spiritual defects in our existence. How can those spiritual injuries be healed? Jesus is the only way for spiritual healing, and He covers our mistakes completely. St. Augustine of Hippo is quoted as saying "It is easy to want things from the Lord and yet not want the Lord Himself, as though the gift could ever be preferable to the Giver." Is this true for us, today; do you want to be spiritually and perhaps physically healed? If so, actively seek Jesus' present representative, the Holy Spirit and be ready for Him to begin changing you and making you whole again! He will help us at a rate that is best for our unique individual spiritual journey. "One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?” “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.” Jn. 5:5-7 (NIV)
