Perfect God Is Not A Perfectionist: ConTEXTing Free Verse
My wife posted this on her Facebook yesterday:
‘I created something today and was grappling over whether it was good enough. . David responded, “It’s good enough… why do you think it has to be perfect? Do you think God is a perfectionist?”
“Probably,” I replied.
“No, He’s not. He can’t be… He created us.”
Touche!’
After I thought about it, I changed my mind and wrote this free verse:
Because God IS
just
perfect,
He made us
perfectly
imperfect,
so we can learn
and grow
and become.
