“The second commandment that Jesus referred to was not to love others instead of ourselves, but to love them as ourselves. Before we can love and serve others, we must love ourselves, even in our imperfection. If we don't embrace our own defects, we can't love others with their shortcomings.” IfsJesusEmbraceImperfectionCommandmentsDefectsShortcomings Author:Jim Warner
“We aren't supposed to strive for perfection everyday. If we were perfect, we'd have no need for Jesus. And it's through our imperfections that we really feel the pull toward our need for a Savior. So the imperfections serve a wonderful purpose if we'll let them.” IfsNeedsFeelsPurposeJesusPerfectWonderfulPerfectionStriveEverydayImperfectionSavior Author:Lysa TerKeurst
