Another romantic comedy
flits to my mind
the idea that someone would “See me as perfect”
creates fear of it’s own kind
It’s not endearing
to see a false version of me
It makes me feel pressure
and wonder who you want me to be
I am me
Perfection only in God’s eyes
let’s keep it real between us
no romanticized lies
Know My Worth 
I agree that “perfect” can be a very loaded word, but I also am coming to believe that it is possible for me to choose to not let it become a source of stress or pressure for me. I’m trying to learn to embrace it, to practice having ease with it. After all, if God created me in His perfect likeness,and He still sees me as His perfect creation, why is it so difficult for me to see myself in the same way? And why am I not willing to accept that someone else might also be able to see me through the light of God’s knowledge of me? “Perfect” doesn’t have to be taken as synonymous with “flawless” or “unchanging”. It is possible, I believe, to receive the word, to perceive the state of perfection as our natural, holy, glorious state of being. Is it even possible for any of us to be less than what we were created to be? As a lily grows from a tender shoot to a full bloom, is there any moment at which it is less or more than perfect? In essence, in spirit, in grace, is there any moment at which any one of us of is less or more than perfect? I don’t think so. 🙂
