Imperfect
January 28, 2012

Anyone out there feeling a little bit “imperfect” today? Thank you, I see that hand being raised. Mine too. Here are some encouraging words for “imperfect” people from Charles Spurgeon:
Do you not feel in your own soul that perfection is not in you? Does not every day teach you that? Every tear which trickles from your eye, weeps “imperfection"; every harsh word which proceeds from your lip mutters “imperfection.” You have too frequently had a view of your own heart to dream for a moment of any perfection in yourself. But amidst this sad consciousness of imperfection, here is comfort for you—you are “perfect in Christ Jesus."In God’s sight, you are “complete in Him;” even now you are “accepted in the Beloved.”
This is part of the entry for the morning of January 28 from his devotional classic Morning and Evening. Read it all and be encouraged. “O my soul, stand and admire this blessed truth of perfection in Christ.”
