Perfection (Ism)
Perfection (Ism)
In this world and in this life, there will hardly ever be a completely perfect day or hour or even a completely perfect
minute, for youre constantly surrounded by the results of the curse. Look forward, therefore, to the time of My coming,
when that which is perfect shall come, and you will know then, even as you are known by Me, and all will be well. (I:9)
In My eyes you already are perfect. (I:30)
Everything is dead without the Spirit. All the perfection one can try to attain in the flesh, is dead and nothing, without the
true life of My Spirit. (I:117)
When you will come face to face with the final, complete picture of your life, every seemingly meaningless stroke will
have a perfect purpose. Even those dark shades, the sorrowful times and dark battles and, yes, even your sins, will serve
for the contrast needed to make that picture perfect. (I:125)
I chose to make you and everything in this world imperfect, so that when you will meet the perfect, it will be all you ever
longed for. You, the imperfect, are the hole, the vacuum, that I, the Perfect must fill, and the more you realize just how
imperfect you really are, the more you realize how much you really need Me, and the more perfect our union will be. I am
the factor in the equation that will transform you from the imperfect state to the perfect, I am the good in you and about
you. (I:165)
The imperfect things in life require more faith of humans to believe, as they figure, how could a perfect God have created
something so vile, so dirty, so low and humiliating? I mean, going to the toilet, changing diapers... you cant tell me that
a perfect God would have planned it all to be thus... Oh, yes, but He did. And for a reason and purpose, as one fine day
theyll all see. Without a comparison to the imperfect, that which is perfect would never be as fully appreciated...
Through pain, blood and agony I was able to bring Heaven, the perfect Place where every moment is perfect, to every
soul who will receive that sacrifice as a personal gift of love from their Creator as remission for their sins.
Its My perfect will for you to be right where you are right now, as unbelievable and unorthodox and uncomfortable as it all
may seem, so that you might learn the faith and the patience and the trust, that even when all things dont look as perfect
as they should, I am in charge.
There might be a lot of reasons behind those imperfections in life, My perfect imperfections! (I:183)
None of you will ever develop their full potential on Earth, you will always be imperfect, as long as you live in the flesh,
but you will be awed by what each of you shall be: perfect like Me, nothing wanting.
So, love each other, knowing that the imperfection you see will soon be exchanged for a perfect, whole soul...!
Love each other with a glimpse of that perfect love, which casts out all fear and all other imperfections, sins and
blemishes! Love is what makes you perfect! (I:366)
I have made you thus in order to change you, transform you. I sow in imperfection to raise from it a crop and harvest of
perfection. The seeds of perfection already lie in you dormant, sometimes to be seen in glimpses, when you're inspired,
but you have to go through a certain grind in life, a certain amount of pain and suffering, in order to really be made clean,
pure and white and all that I wish for you to be in eternity.
Every little affliction will bring about greater appreciation, greater ecstasy and sheer bliss and thankfulness for the
perfection of My eternal Realm and all you will encounter there. (I:404)
My followers are not perfect, but a peculiar people, lest any flesh should boast.
I require not sinless perfection, but how much love you give, how faithful you are to Me in giving out the truth. (I:407)
The imperfections are part of the plan to help you one day really appreciate My perfection.
Heaven is going to be your reward for having been faithful with the little, imperfect things of Earth: The more imperfect
your conditions on Earth, the greater will your joy be in Heaven.
You're having to go through life with all your little achings so that when you will come to Me, you will find perfect joy in
the contrast. You will find I am so much better than anything else you've ever tasted in this world.
That's why the devil is trying to come up with more and more perfect counterfeits and substitutes and distractions all the
time: more and more perfect entertainment, shows, computer games, movies, System music and sounds, all available by
remote control, so you don't even have to move or do anything to get instant satisfaction; more and more perfect tasting
food with artificial flavors, made to even "top" My natural flavors I have put in foods naturally, more and more perfect
drugs and narcotics... He's trying to literally spoil people stupid so they won't ever want to get off of their fannies to do
anything else but indulge in his "perfections". After all, who needs anything else, if you can have all these "perfect"
pleasures and entertainments? Who wants to deal with real people, when the faces and bodies on TV are so much more
"perfect"? (I:411)
What is there to correct or improve in an already perfect situation? What challenge is there in an already perfect
situation?
I'm teaching you to love the imperfect more unconditionally, and I'm teaching you to love the Perfect, namely Me, more
through this all by simply driving you into My arms over and over again, desperately and helplessly looking for a solution,
and finding Here strength and encouragement and wisdom to go on. (I:414)
Life on Earth in this age, while the devil still has dominion over it, is never going to be perfect, otherwise, there would be
no need for Me to come and save mankind. In fact, it's far from perfect, so, focus on Me, the perfect One, and the bringer
of perfection and Salvation, the Deliverer from pain and suffering, the Prince of Peace to bring surcease from war and
strife! (I:454)
It's part of the devil's lies that just because people are so imperfect, so full of flaws, so dumb, so slow, so unable to see
clearly, that I would not love them very much, when the exact opposite is true: I delight in the fact that people desperately
need My help, and that I can love them, fill their needs and be there to help them.
I have problems with people who think they're so great and perfect that they don't need any help. (I:490)
Even your flaws are from My hand, and thus, are ultimately for your best; not to feel bad about them or get all negative
about, but to see them as challenges to rise above, and - if nothing else - as tools to make you appreciate My Perfection
more, the full extent of which you will get to experience when you come Home to Me.
Follow Me along the dotted line of My little dog trail of the Holy Spirit to show and reveal to you the steps you can take
toward My perfection, which might be something completely contrary to what you might think, or what the world or the
enemy might consider perfect! (I:506)
Life isn't going to be perfect - ever - in this present life, and I ordained it this way for you, so that you would - like
Abraham - seek a better place, a City Whose Builder and Maker I am - your true Home.
This world is not your home, so you might as well quit looking for the perfect place in it, and the perfect situation, where
everything is going to be as you wish!
The perfect World is coming, for you to enjoy for all eternity, so, why not prepare for it, by already starting to live in the
joy and the love and the peace of it, as much as you can, and you can, if you're tuned in to Me? (I:553)
Just like you're never going to find the perfect place in this life and this world, it's also very unlikely that you're ever going
to find the perfect people to live, work or fellowship with. Nobody's perfect. (I:555)
Your life is a piece and work of art in My hands, and if I would have wanted to just create the perfect you in an instant, I
could have saved the long introduction of what happened in your life so far.
That's not how I work. I don't create "perfect" humans factory-style! I take My time to shape each one personally by My
own hand. I take infinite care in every little detail.
Youve got to trust Me that I can see the finished result of what you're going to be; I have a vision and inspiration of what
the finished symphony of your life is going to sound like.
I like to take the time to make it perfect. (II:82)
The perfect things are going to come later. First I must test every man to see how faithful they are in the little things!
Nobody's perfect! So, stop expecting perfection from people!
I'm not expecting it, so who are you to be expecting it of them? Just accept this weak, imperfect and faulty human frame
you're in right now!
Those who complain and murmur and wait for "the perfect thing" to come around until they're going to start sharing, lose
what they think they had and get less and less. (II:103)
Even when you can't see wisdom and perfection fully yet, just say, "I take thee," even if you still see flaws and
imperfections!
I want you to put up with imperfection for Me, and be married to it, even as I put up and am married to yours. This is a
token of the bond of true, everlasting, unconditional love. You don't expect someone to be perfect as a condition before
you are able to love them. (II:105)
An important ingredient:
The ingredient that will let folks know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you love them so much that you'd be willing to
lay down your life for them - as imperfect as they are, for how can they believe that you'd lay down your life for them if
you're not even willing to sacrifice a few hours or even days to deal with a problem someone has, in a gentle, loving and
patient way? (II:108)
I use whoever I can who is simply willing to do the job, even if they're far from perfect.
The ones I have chosen to do the most difficult job in the world aren't those who think of themselves as perfect. (II:136)
You long for the total and perfect beauty of My Kingdom. But first you must learn to see beauty in the imperfect things.
(II:137)
It doesn't matter if you don't have the perfect sample, home or marriage, you've got a perfect God, and that's all you really
need to advertise.
Just ignore all your imperfections and lacks in your sample and keep forging ahead in spite of all that! (II:158)
There will come a time when everything will be perfect, and in order to ensure that it will stay perfect and nobody will ever
want to rebel against Me again, I'm having to teach the universe a lesson they won't too quickly forget.
Can you see it now? The vanity and senselessness of the striving for carnal perfection and of lack of trust in Me? (II:166)
Learn patience for the less than perfect, and love for the unlovely!
Everybody can love perfect people! There's nothing special about that. But it takes something to learn to love the
imperfect and faulty and to put up with their flaws, look past and beyond them and yet come up with a compassion for
them that will enable you to even lay down your life for them. (II:179)
Forget about the things that aren't perfect in your life! The perfect is coming, don't worry! But you can enjoy your ride on
your way there, even if it's not perfect yet!
I want you to learn to appreciate and be thankful for even the less than perfect!
Make it your priority to zoom in on Me, the Perfect Factor in your life, Who at the same time can make all the other
aspects of your life as perfect as possible by pouring out My blessings on you in response to your seeking them in the
first place!
Make the best out of what you've got, instead of always seeing whatever is missing that keeps it from being perfect!
Things won't ever be totally perfect in this life. They're meant to be imperfect, and for a good reason, as you'll fully
understand in due time. (II:189)
The more feverishly someone tries to be perfect in their own strength, the bigger the mess they're making out of things,
whereas the greatest saints who ever lived learned to let Me do all things through them. (II:199)
I haven't made any of you perfect, and part of life is simply ironing out the imperfections I purposely created you with with My Help. (II:212)
Even if you were perfect, as I was, yet they would find fault in you enough to kill you (Jn.3:19)! (II:215)
Leave the ironing out of the flaws and imperfections up to Me! Maybe what you consider imperfect is just what I like about
you; that weakness that keeps you extra humble or dependent on Me. (II:220)
When this world looks less than perfect, when it seems that there's something missing, when there are problems that
need a solution, or simply a situation that could use some improvement, you can turn to Me, the Source of all
improvement, all that is better, the Answer-Man and Solution-Giver to every problem, the perfect enhancement of every
not-so-perfect situation!
People don't necessarily have to be totally broken before they will accept Me. Sometimes all that it takes is that they
realize that this world isn't as perfect as they would like it to be, and, well, if they want the Perfect, send'em to Me! I'll
give'em perfect! I'll show them what perfect really is, the way things were really meant to be, if man hadn't chosen to veer
off the perfect path of obedience and harmony with Me!
But every man, woman and child can return to that perfect path and find the perfection they inwardly seek, in Me. I'll
complete what started as a crooked line and will make a perfect circle out of it. Just because things look far from perfect
doesn't mean they'll always stay that way. Just tell'em, "Well, the picture is not yet finished." And tell'em to either wait and
see, or to come to Me for a glimpse through My eyes, and I'll give them the vision of what it's going to become and what
it's going to look like when it's done!
There are absolutes! I know, because I'm One of them. - In fact, the epitome of all of them. And the tale that there aren't
any absolutes is just one of those poisonous lies of the devil. Just because he put his own curse-resulting filter of "lessthan-perfect" over My creation, in order to hide the perfect from man's view, doesn't mean there is no perfect!
Since man didn't want to whole-heartedly embrace the perfect, but rather chose the option of doing their own thing and
be their own "perfect enough," I allowed life to be imperfect, with Me, and the perfection of the Spirit World being
invisible, in other words, with man groping around through life blind to all that's perfect.
They're starting to see the mathematical impossibilities of all the perfection in creation to have occurred by itself. But it
still doesn't cause many of them to stop and pause long enough to find out what I've got to say.
It is hard to spark someone's interest in the invisible, no matter how perfect it may be.
But it's not any sadistic experiment or show-off scheme of Mine, to show off how great and wonderful I am, but truly the
perfect plan for everyone's eternal happiness. You will find out how wonderfully perfect everything truly is, as hard as it
may be to believe this right now. (II:245)
You're not supposed to find total perfection and sinlessness in an instant! Not until the School of Life is over. (II:251)
Those who aren't satisfied with anything less than the perfect never even get a fraction of the good accomplished that
those do who simply have the guts and determination to share what they've got, even if they may not have all the details
100% straight!
My true prophets didn't wait until everything was perfect; they didn't filter out all the strange little truths before they
poured out the water. They knew the world was dying of thirst, and time was short, so they poured it out, and the world
drank it up, and they fulfilled their destiny, although they didn't fail to make a lot of enemies that way, just like I didn't.
Those who wait until everything is just perfect will never do their part to change the world. (II:255)
Perfection is flesh. Inspiration, the Spirit, that's what counts! (II:281)
Don't worry about not being "Mr. Perfect!" Nobody is, and you're just doing fine by letting go and letting Me! (II:296)
You don't have to wait until you're perfect before you can give a little love. Love is seeing beyond the imperfection and
seeing Me, the Perfect in it.
What every man or woman or child manages to be, let it be! Don't expect perfection from them!
In this world, there is nothing perfect.
Seek My mind, and My ways of seeing things: the beauty in the imperfect, in the humble and childlike, and escape the
thinking of the carnal mind, which will only criticize, belittle and complain about all the innumerable little imperfections
you see in creation! (II:310)
Since nothing and no one is perfect in this world, this will be another factor to help you appreciate My perfect World,
when you get Here, a World void of the evil and lack of love you see and experience around you.
Everybody has been affected by the curse, and the only thing you can really expect from folks on Earth is imperfection,
knowing that they will one day be perfect, but that probably won't happen during their life-time on Earth. (II:314)
They may try to blame Me for not having made man more perfect, but as highly as man thinks of himself already, just
imagine how much more highly he would think of himself if I had made him more perfect and equipped him with less
flaws.
Just as you can trust Me for having supplied just the perfect blend of ingredients and proportions in the rest of creation,
you can trust Me that I knew what I was doing in making man just the way he is.
Even the degree to which all things including man are deteriorating is carefully planned, and the story that had a
perfect beginning, in which all things were found as good, will also have a perfect ending. (IV:87)
Its hard to be perfect, especially according to one single persons concept of perfect, which is always bound to be tainted
by some of their own ideas which may or may not be true (2011:51)
Im not requiring of anyone to be perfect before Im going to use them
Whatever you give to Me in order for Me to use it to further My Cause, spread My message or help My Kingdom on earth
to be established in whichever way, I will use, even if its less than perfect.
See, often the reason that people do want to help Me and give to My Cause is that they are realizing that they are less
than perfect So they want to make up for it. And I let them. (2011:61)
Every now and then you get a little whiff of My Perfection, and it makes all the apparent chaos look insignificant by
comparison. (2011:62)
Life wasn't meant to be perfect, even if that's what you would wish for: a perfect life. But this is one of the mysteries of
humanity, that perfection is only acquired via the path of imperfection. You can't get there except by this uncomfortable,
painful road of suffering and putting up with the mundane things of life to help you appreciate the Perfect once it's there...
So, if you can't see anything else that's good about your life, about your day and the things around you, you can at least
use it to get your focus on the perfect that's to come.
Hard for you to believe that a God Who created such an imperfect world should actually be capable of perfection? Well,
just wait and see. (2011:66)
Its easy to criticize and blame everyone else for not being perfect. How about you? And what are you planning to do
about your own, quite far from perfect state? (2011:67)
You may currently have the attitude that you dont want to preach anything that you are not able to live yourself, but if you
wait until youre perfect, youre never going to spread My message to anyone in this life.
I have chosen imperfect vessels to pass on the message of My Perfection, and it requires faith on both sides: that of the
giver of the message as well as those on the receiving end.
You have seen and experienced and lately discovered even more imperfections in the sources that brought My message
to you, but the fact remains that the end result of hooking you up with Me, the Source of all thats perfect is the most
determining factor.
You may not be perfect, but that shouldnt stop you from offering the Perfect One and the perfect solution to their
problems, regardless of whether theyre aware of them or not. (2011:91)
Its part of human nature to want to see their heroes as perfect, without blemishes, without failures, but thats simply not
realistic. (2011:104)
Who needs a Savior when youre already perfect in your own eyes? (2011:118)
My idea of perfection differs largely from the human view. (2011:131)
There has to be a price to pay for the reward, something to put up with, a cross or burden to bear for the outcome to be
as perfect as I designed it to be. (2012:9)
Everyone always thinks that if they lived in a perfect environment with perfect partners, that perfection would rub off on
them, and theyll improve their character, too, but thats not quite how it works.
Character isnt built under perfect circumstances, but rather under adverse ones.
While the perfection of Heaven is a free gift, its a slightly different story when you strive for any degree of perfection as
futile as that may be in the world: a lot depends on you there, and youll only reap the same quality of fruit as that of the
seeds youve sown. (2012:53)
You need breaks and rests from all activities, and the trees on earth dont bloom endlessly, unlike the ones in Heaven.
Thats basically, what imperfect means: not complete. There are holes and gaps and flaws here and there, and as you
know, it isnt destined to last.
There were times when I snapped and became impatient and said things that you maybe wouldnt have expected from
the perfect Son of God, which is another reason why the perfectionist religionists rejected Me: I wasnt perfect enough
for them. In fact, I never claimed to be.
As long as youre trapped in that imperfect frame you currently call life, you cannot expect things to be perfect.
Being perfect is currently something thats only by faith, just as salvation from your sins is.
So, dont worry about feeling imperfect and like a little worm sometimes. Soon youll be a butterfly. Youll see things from
different angles then and be capable of things you could only dream of now. But youll also fully appreciate them then,
because youll have been through this imperfect stage. (2012:60)
Thats simply what Im good at: creating the perfect out of the apparent hopeless mess and chaos, so that the universe
will know it was indeed My doing, and not its own.
The chaos, as hopeless as it may seem, in My hands will turn out to be a work of beauty and perfection. (2012:65)
Youve had to wade through thousands of songs and sounds in order to find out what kind of music you like and compile
your collection of your favorite music of all time.
There couldnt just have been perfect songs all the time Even so, there cant only be perfect moments or days. (2012:74)
People have been trying to rig up perfection and Utopia, but theyll never quite manage. They simply dont have the right
foundation to build on, which is why the old one first needs to be destroyed. (2012:80)
So what youve got isnt perfect, but at least its real, even if youve come to question its realness. Lets just say its as
real as anything I bring across your path, as opposed to the fantasies the Enemy brings along, which may seem endlessly
more enticing, but nonetheless, simply not real. (2012:94)
You shouldnt expect others to be perfect any more than youd hope for them to expect perfection from you. (2012:123)
When the devil tempts you to feel discontent with your situation, just take this as the portion of your cup that Ive handed
to you, in the full confidence that it is good. It is My gift to you, so please, dont despise it, even if you consider it far from
perfect.
Perhaps its precisely as far from perfect as you are, and thus, exactly what you need (2012:133)
You dont live in an environment as perfect as the first humans did because humanity has strayed too far from perfect.
(2012:174)
In nowadays Christianity they like to hide and cover up the sins of their saints and heroes, instead of like the Bible did
point them out as lessons for everyone to learn from. It creates the illusion that heroes and saints have got to be perfect,
and so those who want to attain to such a status believe that theyve got to be perfect, too, and since that cant
realistically be done, they try to get there by cheating, denial and deception. (2012:177)
Youre totally sunk without Me, and that, to Me, makes the perfect situation for you! (2013:36)
I see you as perfect before Me, even if in this present life youre still having to go through some lessons, corrections and
experience that are less than pleasant to go through at the moment. (2013:38)
For someone who would like life to be perfect, its hard to cope with all those things going wrong, especially when caused
by ones own hand or neglect. (2013:46)
You wont ever be perfect in this life, and at the current rate, things are already deteriorating. The only thing that gets
better is your relationship with Me, if you cherish it enough and wont neglect it, and the wisdom you glean from your
experiences, if you take heed to lifes lessons. (2013:105)
Less than perfect is pretty much an appropriate title for this entire chapter of history or period in which you live your
earthly little lives, perhaps just to remind you how futile any effort would be to change that.
The only hope and chance for perfect is for you to stick and cling to Me. I can at least integrate your imperfect little life
into My perfect grand plan, and thus make it part of something perfect, so it doesnt all seem so senseless and futile. If
you know that theres a perfect plan behind all the seeming chaos and obviously imperfect, then it gives a ring and spark
to it that makes it easier for you to go through it.
You want perfect? Why not Me?
Not even diamonds or gold are perfect when theyre first found and mined and carved out of the earth. Things usually
dont come out perfect from scratch, but theyre made perfect.
And thats basically the theme of the whole plan: Deriving perfect from the imperfect, perhaps even the disastrous,
chaotic, filthy, seemingly hopeless (2013:106)
Dont knock those less than perfect experiences, because they just might be what you need in order for you to finally
learn to avail yourself of the power and mechanism that can turn your whole life into a much more pleasant and a little bit
closer to perfect experience per se. (2013:107)
The Place that will make any place on earth as perfect as it can be is My Place, and your availing yourself of It and Its
reality. (2013:127)
As long as you desire your earthly life to be perfect, or as close to it as possible, youre obviously overestimating the
status of this temporary world. (2014:25)
Most people who think they are, arent really as perfect Theres usually a lot more left to learn from mistakes being or
having been made. (2014:33)
Remember, this life isnt the most perfect time or part of what I came to earth for, but to give believers eternal life. Maybe
those dreadful parts of the current life are reminders that theres something better coming along eventually (2014:35)
Sometimes it takes a little while to find out My perfect will for you, and even if you already know it, it might take a little
while until you can get there and My perfect time for it is ready. (2014:41)
Things could be going a lot rougher for you, even though they may not be going that perfectly to keep reminding you that
the System isnt exactly perfect
Im sorry things went so hard and rough for you, but sometimes they do in this world, and its a reminder for you that its
like that pretty much everywhere and all over: imperfect. (2014:85)
The places that look the most perfect in this imperfect world are usually the greatest temptation to have people think and
believe that the physical is the most perfect in the here and now, which to them means, the only one theyll ever be
interested in. The more money and luxury the better is the rule that makes folks bow down to places like that, which
offer the greatest material riches and thus, power (2014:140)
So, things and folks arent perfect But is there anything in this world youd consider perfect?
If this current and present world isnt perfect, doesnt that make you hope that the words about the World to come are
true indeed? (2014:188)
One doesnt have to be perfect for Me to choose to talk to him or her You just have got to want it and have enough faith
to believe that it is possible. (2015:9)
As long as your earthly life is almost perfect, its no wonder you cant spend much time thinking about Heaven. But once
it loses its imitation of a look of perfection
So, no reason to feel too bad about it if your life doesnt strike you as perfect! (2015:49)
Dont judge or criticize others for any imperfect behavior, for as far as perfect goes: neither are you!
Remember thats a humility that folks should cling to more: realizing that theyre all far from perfect! So dont expect
perfection of anyone, especially when its obvious youre not perfect yourself. (2015:62)
One of the things about life is finding out that down there it cannot be perfect, because the perfect Place to make living
just like that is Up Here.
Theres not much use in looking for just about perfect moments, much less hours or days down there, where theres too
much stuff happening that pretty much ought not to be. And to folks like you theyre happening to remind you that your
true Home is somewhere else. (2015:68)
It may be true that the behavior of others around you isnt perfect, but then, neither is yours! And instead of letting that of
the others bring you down, why not starting to work on improving your own? (2015:98)
We don't just love perfect human beings! In fact, there aren't any perfect ones around, anyway. So, knowing We can love
you should give you confidence that We'll be able to love just about anyone. (2015:99)
Nobodys all perfect and has only positive characteristics. (2015:109)
To loveem anyway, even though theyre not perfect, thats what you ought to learn from the Fathers and My nature of
love. (2015:111)
You dont have to be perfect or a sinless saint in order to receive something from Me. Youve just got to have the faith that
I love to communicate with My followers and disciples, even if theyre not perfect.
So, dont feel too bad about not having reached a level of perfection! You can be pretty sure that wont happen until you
get Here, where you wont be subject to the weaknesses of the flesh anymore, which has generally been part of that curse
that Adam and Eve had brought upon themselves, and thus, all of their descendents.
So, dont worry about not being perfect.
Youve made mistakes, and so, youre not perfect. And knowing that should at least keep you humble, and not selfrighteous. (2015:113)
Many folks dont quite dig it yet, that love is more important than their own goodness, righteousness, or trying to get as
close to perfection as they can, which, on the other hand, would encourage their self-righteousness to pop up again,
which is definitely one of the worst habits that can be afflicting humans.
You dont really have to be perfect, you know? Just do what you can, believe and trust as much as you can, and Ill do all I
can to help you, as much as youll believe in it that I will! (2015:138)
Let the negativity and sight of the far from perfect things that world has to offer, slide down a bit!
Learn to accept what life has to offer you in a good way, not murmuring about whatevers not perfect!
However far from perfect, things could always be even worse. And you know from My Word, that the world will be, so,
learn to cope with whatevers out there to deal with! So, dont see it as something negative when things arent perfect!
The lack of perfection on Earth will make it clear to folks what is perfect when they get Here. So, dont let the lack of it
down there drag you down!
Anything you think youd learn from permanently perfect and easy times to help you make it through times of trouble and
prepare you for it?
