We tend to get really caught up in being perfect and being all that we can be. Unfortunately, there is only one perfection and it cannot be attained in this world. So instead of trying to attain perfection, put yourself wholeheartedly into your faith, allowing your faith to sculpt and form you.
To be honest I have no idea what the best version of myself is, but I do know that if I trust and believe in something greater than myself I will be molded by what I believe in.
Ancient philosophers had a hard time figuring out how to prove the existence of things. They argued that there exists a perfect mold of something in this world and every person is just a lesser image of this perfection. Others argued that we are as perfect as it gets and this world was created around us. But if you take a step back and look at it from the perspective of faith, we are neither. It is not our purpose to achieve perfection, however, it is our duty, our faithful patronage to help others reach a point where they are comfortable with being molded and sculpted by something greater than the self.
This is a very hard notion to comprehend, or even accept, but if you put yourself out there ready to fall, practicing active patience, then you are doing everything you can and you should be doing to live and grow in your faith.
Take a leap, take a chance, but know that you don't know what is best for you.
Live in faith, take a leap of faith,
With love,
Hope.
