Perfect Is Boring…

Perfect Is Boring…11-13-25

I didn’t realize until the last week how much I had missed painting. I haven't painted much of anything in almost four years. I am so blessed to be able to do this for others and myself. My friend told me this morning “Perfect is boring”. Oh, how true it is. To be able to enjoy others who have potholes in their lives, as I do, is a tremendous blessing from God. I know I said this yesterday, but it is amazing grace that he sees our sins and loves us anyway.

In this piece, I see love and acceptance. I see joy in the eyes that portrays the one who painted. I see peace in the simplicity. I see forgiveness of the imperfections. I see do-overs, and try again. I see quirky and lovable. I see quiet and shy. Simply said, I see me. In every thing I do, I leave something of myself. Colossians 3:23-24 says "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."

I have often used the term, "It is my blessing." That is how I feel when I seek to serve. I am the one blessed beyond measure by God through seeking Him with all my heart. The feeling of complete joy is knowing that I am serving. I want that more in my life. Seeking Him through all I do has been and will be my driving force. Deuteronomy 13:4, "You shall walk after the Lord your God and fear him and keep his commandments and obey his voice, and you shall serve him and hold fast to him." Lord, let me always hold fast to you and serve you until we stand face-to-face in Heaven.
