“There’s a crack or cracks in everyone. That’s how the light of God gets in.” Elizabeth Gilbert. I used to think I needed to be 'perfect,' in order to be loved, to be accepted, to belong. I drove myself crazy trying to fit in, trying to be what someone else needed, or wanted, or believed was acceptable.
I know now there's not a person in the world who is perfect. We're all trying to live our best lives and sometimes fall way short of what we could be or want to be. That's okay, because I've discovered it's in my weakness, in my not being 'perfect' that He shines.
I love what Gilbert says, "Embrace this glorious mess that you are. We are all just sloppy stupendous champions."
Now that takes the pressure off. Happy Thursday, Guys.

love you my friend
Those are such great quotes, and it is reassuring to know that we shouldn't worry about the fact that we aren't perfect. Have a nice weekend, Nikki!
Oh my, you sounded like you were describing me, Nikki! Life was one big failure after another until I learned only He is perfect and then I was set free from myself. It was liberating! Love those quotes! Have a fabulous weekend, my friend.

That's a great quote. Have a blessed weekend.
I agree. And I love cracks. They make me human. Being human is a messy and beautiful business. No one is without iether the messy or the beauty.
I think when we realize we are not perfect and that we don't have to be... that is when we really become free. I like that quote about being a glorious mess... ♡ xox
Oh, yes.
Being me, being the person that God is transforming.
Freedom indeed.
GOD BLESS!
No we certainly do not need to be perfect...
We need to be kind and thoughtful ...
All the best Jan
