I couldn’t stop staring at a rather beautiful and attractive lady with an equally gorgeous boyfriend/fiancé/husband while on the way home from work. It has been a few weeks or is it months but visuals of her continue to linger in my mind. Anyway, I thought that the lady would’ve been more attractive with fuller lips, a broader smile. And I thought, she might have thought the same every other time she examines herself in the mirror.
We always want something more – to have bigger eyes, a smaller waist, a slimmer figure, to be taller/shorter. We always harp on our imperfections.
Truth is, we are created as the best creations – having the ability to discern, to have integrity, to rise above circumstances, to rise above others.
Lord, let us be humbled by our imperfections (not blinded by them) in our strive to attain perfection.

Verily, We create man in the best conformation
and thereafter We reduce him to the lowest of low
excepting only such as attain to faith and do good works: and theirs shall be a reward unending!
