An interesting conversation took place between my dad and my daughter over this past holiday season. She was sharing about her last year of high school and her plans for the future. My dad told her that her mom started out that way. She said in what way? He said 'oh she was idealistic but she has gotten over that."
And then I interjected "OH NO! I am still very idealistic."
See, I have not changed in the least in terms of being idealisitic. I believe that things can and will one day be perfect in every sense of the word. I have changed however in my understanding of how the perfect will happen and who will cause it to happen.
I spent the first 20 years of my adult life looking for the right system to belong to, to be a part of something bigger than myself to see perfection come about among men. I tried all of the political parties and systems and was disilluded. I tried all of the social awareness agendas I could find and was disappointed. I tried all of the theologies and religions of the earth and never found peace. I even tried all types of relations among people from marriage to self awareness groups.
However, about 10 years ago I found perfection. You know what? It is not a system of politics or social activism or even theology. Perfection is a person, a being and His name is Jesus.
See what I mean? It is not me or you or even a bigger group of folk who will cause it to happen. It is not belief in any discipline of action that will bring understanding.
The bigger thing to belong to is Jesus. The bigger thing to do is Jesus. Perfection is Jesus.
So if you are like me and so desire with a yearning that is unexplainable to know and see perfection, seek Jesus, that is where what you seek is.
