Is Perfection Possible?

Most people spend their time searching for perfection. The perfect job. The perfect house. The perfect wedding. The perfect pet. The perfect vacation. The perfect image. The perfect car. The perfect spouse. But how do we find PERFECTION? Does it even exist? I believe perfection can be different for everyone. This article was written to help each of us understand what perfection is and how to achieve it.

Things You’ll Need:
An open mind
Passion
A desire to find perfection

God's Beauty

Step1 On a clear night, go outside and watch the sunset. Once the sun has slipped below the horizon, look up. If the sunset doesn’t take your breathe away, then the stars will. That my friend, is perfection. Genesis 1:14-19 (vs. 16 …God made two great lights – the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars…)

Step2 If you can, hold a new born baby. Any baby that is only a few months old or younger. If you can’t hold one, go to the maternity area and look through the glass at a new born baby. Look at that beautiful tiny face. Now that’s perfection. Matthew 18:3-5 (vs. 3 And He said, I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven…)

Endless Waters

Step3 Stand along the edge of the ocean and look out as far as you can see. Watch the waves crash. Again, perfection. Genesis 1:9-14 (vs. 9 And God said, Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear…)

Step4 Have you ever taken a moment to look outside? In the Spring, everything is full of life and blooming. The greenest green you’ve ever seen. In the Fall, bright vibrant colors dot the landscape. Colors we can only hope to duplicate surround us every day. You guessed it, perfection. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (vs. 1 There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven…)

The Beauty Around Us

Step5 Was the beauty surrounding us everyday an accident? Can you really look at the elegant, precise and vibrant artwork that we live in everyday and not see that it was planned by someone bigger than us? Genesis 1:31-2:3 (1:31a God saw all that He had made and it was very good…)

Step6 Did you know that God knew every hair on your head even before you were born? Psalm 139:13-16 (vs. 13 For you created my innermost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb…)

Step7 Perfection is all around us everyday. If we spend too much time looking for it, we will miss it.

A Simple, Yet Perfect Picture Of Nature

Step 8 SOMETHING TO PONDER:
1. Have you ever wondered how a tree (or plant) knows to grow?
2. How the birds know to fly south in the Winter?
3. How the life cycle works so perfectly?
4. How a Bumble Bee can fly when it’s body is too heavy for it’s wings to support?
5. How the Solar System revolves and stays in place? One adjustment and the whole system would fail.
6. Was gravity on earth and accident?
