Thank you, Imperfection


"And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."  Book of Mormon, Ether 12:27


I am me. I am imperfect. I am enough.
Sometimes it is difficult to accept things about ourselves we see as imperfect. But these are important things that define us and make us unique. I'm not talking about physical imperfections. But I believe those also make us unique and beautiful. Currently I have undertaken the work of strengthening a few specific weaknesses. I love the scripture above for reminding me that the Lord is willing and eager to help me do this. Truthfully, I couldn't do it without him. He is the First and Best Helper. He loves me as I am. He wants me to become the best of who I am and while I'm working toward that he reminds me that I am precious and beautiful to him. And that I am enough. 


My weakness compels me to seek Him. Thank you, imperfection. You are my friend.
