Perfection

Lexus may be the pursuit of perfection,
but Love is more about the acceptance
and valuing of imperfection.

First, in yourself: the core of grace,
overflowing as God's gift
that’s self-applied; finally,
forwarded to all within your reach.

Comparison and score-keeping are
the path to total destruction;
imperfectly perfect, the way
of creation's grand design;
interaction and appreciation
the universe's modus operandi.

Live into the wonderment
that both your artwork and
your picture are on eternity's fridge,
not because of who you are,
or what you can do/have done
but because of who God is.
