Perfection

Perfection. It's what we are all looking for but can never get. It's always so close, taunting us as if there was any way we could attain it. If only we ran a little faster, tried a little harder, and had a little more money. But it will always be just out of reach. Look at baseball, there have been 22 perfect games in MLB history. But how far does that perfect go? The pitches weren't always perfect, the calls weren't always perfect, therefore, it wasn't a completely perfect game. We can't make anything perfect, nor can there be anything perfect... apart from God. You see, in our journey towards an unattainable perfection we miss the obvious truth that only in God can we be made perfect. God is obviously perfect, that should be known without saying. But look at His creation, even though sin has diminished creation from perfection, there is no doubt how amazing it is considering how everything in the world works together so intricately and intimately. From food chains, to how bodies are composed, to the way the brain works, it's impossible how something like this could ever just appear. After coming to this realization about how the world is put together, it's hard for me to fathom how we think we can attain any form of perfection without God. Nor why we even bother. We will never find the perfect mate, the perfect food, the perfect anything. Except for the perfect Savior and perfect God.

I was looking up the definition of perfect, and a synonym on the side, was unadulterated. The definition of adulterate is "to debase or make impure by adding inferior materials or elements; use cheaper, inferior, or less desirable goods inthe production of (any professedly genuine article)" 

So when we are searching for some sort of perfection on our own accord, we are searching for an adulterated version of perfection. We desire God, but instead of chasing after Him, we settle for something less that will gratify our desire for a short time, only for us to want more. It's not up for me to give you thoughts for this though, I want you to go out and think about this all for yourself and come to your own conclusion.
