Look at the nature in this frame I took; the gray clouds don't sit perfectly between the two rocks. The rough edges of this canyon aren't identical, yet they're breathtaking. Nothing in this world is perfect, but it doesn't have to be. The very same rule applies to us. The little things we see as flaws; the uneven smile, stretch marks, and anything that can be sought in change, make us unique. These so-called imperfections are reminders that we are handcrafted and intentional the way we are.
In a world where every detail is observed and scrutinized, it can often feel like we are never enough. The faces upon us will never be symmetrical, our bodies won't ever match the exact look we imagine, and life won't ever align precisely with the plans we make. Despite all this, in God's eyes, we already fit within his design. The Bible states we are made in His image, in His love for us. Take a step back from the pressure to be impossibly more. See yourself through the eyes of God, who made you with care and purpose. Nothing will ever be "perfect" by human standards, yet everything is exactly as it should be.
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. - 1 John 4:8
