Imperfections or Infirmities

Labels! These definitely hurt others but the facts are; we all have labels applied to us.

Male or female, boy or girl, black or white, skinny or chubby, red or black hair, Christian or non-believer, etc.

Judgement of others!

Perception of judging, such as pointing out sin.

There can be physical or mental imperfections.

Definition of imperfection:

Flawed

Here are some synonyms of imperfection:

Scarred, defect, deformity, disfigurement etc 

Physical imperfections, you were most likely born with them but not always. Sometimes your actions or the action of others cause them. Sovereign God has allowed them.

Mental imperfections, you can be born with one but sometimes they are directly caused by your actions of alcohol consumption, or perhaps some would argue environmental poisons and most definitely drug abuse.

As we age, we can have dementia or Alzheimer's.

We can be injured. 

What if: 

The child with autism holds the keys to cure cancer?

The old person with dementia could soothe the ache of loneliness that orphans have.

The wounded soldier creates some wonderful invention that changes our lives for the better. 

We want perfect people in an imperfect world! God created this world to be a paradise and Satan has corrupted it! So, what can we do? Trust God! Trust Him to change you. Trust Him for salvation! 

And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. - Genesis 1:31

even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love - Ephesians 1:4

Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. - 1 John 3:2

20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

21 who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself. - Philippians 3:20-21

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.

20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope

21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now.

23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

24 For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees?

25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. - Romans 8:18-25

Our Hope

1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.

2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." - Revelation 21:1-4
