I read this interview*, well You will understand, this quote that did touch me.
Would You like to comment on this?
I like this quote, My son.
Then we have tackled perfectionism right away, because that is a
horrible human trait. Wanting to be perfect in one step, while man needs a
thousand steps. It is unloving, unwise and pointless. And that seems
contradictory. The perfect God wants you to be imperfect, namely just
yourselves. Imperfect beings with shortcomings and faults, blind spots and
weaknesses. Very good. If you are this and accept this, then God is a lot more
confident about your happiness than if you don't want to be. And the pursuit of
perfection is not bad in itself, holding up an ideal as a human being is a
beautiful and inspiring guiding guideline for life. But it gets ugly when you
confuse one step with a thousand or when you mistake one step too many or when
you want to skip one step.
The pastor is blessed.
My blessings to you all
