Flawless...
Yesterday as I was driving in traffic, I saw a business vehicle with the sign on the side saying...”Flawless Electrical Co.”...
Thinking that the word, flawless, sounds archaic.....I began to ponder the word and its meaning to me personally.
Perfection I understand.....flawless takes a big leap toward perfection yet has a definition of its own...
The word ...flaw...means...a defect; fault, blemish, error, crack, or scratch that spoils something.
Flawless, of course, would be the opposite.
Looking at an object and declaring it...flawless...would also suffice to say....it is ...perfect....isn’t it?
Not necessarily in my opinion.
Perfect seems to me to describe ...completely correct or accurate; exact; precise; most excellent....
There is no such thing as....perfectless!
Flawless means to me that there were once.....flaws!
The process from flaws to flawless.....is WORK.
Flawless will never be perfection!
For there once was flaws, errors, defects etc. which was its original state.
Great energy had to be expounded in order to move from the state of flaws to flawless....Therefore being found flawless is much more costly to me.
......As a human being I WILL NEVER BE PERFECT no matter how hard I try....It just does not happen.
But I can become.....more flawless every time I correct...wrong thinking, wrong actions, or stupid endeavors on my part.
Getting the ‘human’ flaws out is an ongoing, maturing process.....
Perfection can be a worthy goal but it is absolutely unattainable this side of Heaven’s Doors.
Looking at other family members and friends....sometimes we see the ‘major flaws’....as do they with us.
The process whereby each person either lives with or works on correcting their own flaws can be very painful to the caring ‘onlooker’.
Yet we are powerless to remove the flaws from any life but our very own...
Why do we try?
Hope beats eternal in the human heart.
Helping someone to change his or her destructive ‘flaws’ seems a ’noble’ goal.
It is futile!
Only they can remove the ’flaws’ from their own life...
I’ve found that only “prayer” can make a difference for my loved ones or myself...
Because the eyes of the heart must open to want change for our very own selves and to recognize there are ’flaws’ or blemishes that can retard relationships or personal growth.... Only an internal remedy can initiate this process from within.
Prayer works....My life is proof or evidence of that process used by my very own parents. As I have, too, used this ‘tool of last resort’ in behalf of my family and friends....
Only God can change a heart...or life!
The word...Miracle...applies to this process.
Having many obvious flaws of my own....some I don’t want to let go of....I must have patience and compassion when I watch others struggle with their own....flawless....condition.
For you see...there by the grace of God....go I.....daily!
There was and only will be.....One Perfect Human Being!
....and I am not He!
Rest assured....I and you, too, will still have flaws as long as we reside on planet earth....Therefore, we can identify with the rest of the human race and perhaps have a measure of compassion...which is real....for our fellow man.
May God continue to bless and guide us in this ongoing process ...flaws and all.....is my prayer for you!
Have a...Flawless, Blessed.....Day!
