Many atimes when I'm faced with several inundating challenges like meeting a deadline, I always depend on the brain to spring a surprise and most of the time, by God's special grace it does. I could remember, vividly, an experience I had last week. My editor gave a 2-week notice for an article only to turn around and slash it to 1 hour! I never believed I could make the deadline only to pick the keyboard and type one of my very best jobs ever, no preparation, reflection or editing- it was raw, uncut and definitely real. And that made me ponder on certain innate abilities of man that are yet undiscovered.
When God created man in His image, He made a declaration about his creativity, "perfect". We however tend to overlook the real meaning of "perfect". Perfection refers to a complete state, void of blemish, limitations and other buts. In my personal inquiry, I got to know that perfection in God's context is not the context we (most of us) see it. We see perfection in terms of outward beauty and other mundane things. That is why guys would be chasing after girls with nothing in their skulls. Men see perfection in terms of immaterially perishable features rather than non-perishable attributes that made God declare us perfect.
In God's etymology, perfection refers to the provision of all that is needed for an individual to suceed in his or her predilected (destined) field. A man can only be perfect if he's discovered what God wants for him. Sometimes I wonder why God has made it compulsive, for anybody who desires perfection, to know His perfect will. I however realised that for someone to go all the way to synthesize the human system, seeking the attention of its handiwork is not too much to ask.
In essence, putting on lipsticks, mascaras, push ups and other ephimerals cannot make one perfect. Perfection comes from God himself. We need to begin to appreciate and seek what God primarily made us for and stop acting like regretted by products of accidental discharges.
