Facing off with your truth in you

9/4/2014

It takes a lot to acknowledge our shortcomings. It is much easier to discuss our strengths and talents. When we are really accomplished in some area of our life, we want everyone to know, will work it into the most random of conversations. We are the first to engage in things that interest us, areas where we excel.  If we know a lot about something we are not shy about sharing our knowledge with the universe. As human beings we want to feel validated by others. We thirst for attention. We thrive on accolades. We are attracted to glittering lights and sparkling stars. We are ever seeking a bigger stage. That's just me. You could be different.

But when it comes to owning our imperfections that is a horse of a different color. Now we wear masks. We dodge truths, We exaggerate our failures and skew them toward success. At the very least, once told, they become our "mistakes" because of "others" failures. We fail to take ownership. We don't want to be called out. We refuse condemnation. We will end relationships, changes friendship circles, move from cities, skip family gatherings, resign from jobs, withdraw from church memberships, all of these things, when we are close to being found out. When the truth in us is seeping out and being exposed. The truth that we are not perfect.

The thing is none of us is perfect. We weren't even created to be perfect. Nowhere is it written that we must even aim for perfection. That expectancy we placed on ourselves. A figment of our own creation.

I would much rather live in a world where we put all our stuff out on the table. A place where we begin to learn from each other's failures. A place of no judgment. A place where we don't run away from anything about us. But rather we run to others who accept our imperfections and help with the healing within us.

That is what Jesus would do.

    I love being around people. I would rather live falling than break my spirit never trying anything hard. This blog is about trying and retrying life.
