One must be able to accept failures.
To be able to strive for perfection,
One must be able to accept imperfection.
To love and be loved,
Sacrifice must be involved.
And of course the Greatest Love and Sacrifice was shown to us on the Cross by our Dear Jesus:)
Acceptance is key to moving forward. The older we get, the more we encounter, the more we have to contend with, the more we have to accept. Only with acceptance, can we see and understand things in its proper perspective. Can then we proceed to come up with objective solutions to remedy the situation, to slowly take a step forward.
These steps, though small, are full of significance and fills our lives with purpose and meaning when taken. Why? Because of the collective sacrifices of everyone to trash out differences and take that same united step forward. Strength in Unity!
Besides, there is nothing that you'll deeply love that you didn't suffer for. Think about what David said when he said, I'll never offer up something that costs me nothing to The Lord. David, in all of his imperfection, knew what love is. Why do you think he was called a man after God's own heart?
2Sa 24:24 But the king replied to Araunah, "No, I insist on paying you for it. I will not sacrifice to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing." So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen and paid fifty shekels [c] of silver for them.
So let us take those small.... yet BIG steps in our lives and Slay the dragons of our lives!
In the words of Neil Armstrong, I'll leave you this quote:
That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.
In His Love,
Jared
