1 Corinthians 1:3
May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you all of his blessings, and great peace of heart and mind.

In
her memoir by the same name, television personality Robin Roberts
quotes her mother, Lucimarian Tolliver, who often reminded her that… "Everybody’s Got Something"*.
And Lucimarian was exactly right. Every single one of us has joys,
sorrows, successes, failures, incredible “highs”…and equally profound
“lows”.
You might think this is the ultimate “common
denominator” for each of us…but there is something else. We are all
flawed in some way…but we all have the potential to be flawless. I’m
not talking about wrinkle creams or hair dye…plastic surgery or years of
intense therapy! We can all experience God’s blessings - and great
peace of heart and mind - through salvation in Jesus Christ. Each one
of us can become “flawless” when we surrender to Christ and strive to
walk in His ways.
You may be familiar with the Mercy Me, the
Christian band that is best known for their hit, “I Can Only Imagine."
This group has just released a video for their latest song,
“Flawless”.** I encourage you to take a few minutes and watch this
video…to consider what “flaws” others feel they possess – and to think
about how God can remove these – and so much more…and truly make us
“flawless!”
Everybody has indeed got "something"...but not
everyone experiences God’s blessings, and “great peace of heart and
mind”. Don’t you want to be “flawless” in His eyes? Each of us can
be…and we can start today…here...now…in this very moment! I’m all
in…what about you?
