God is not a Perfectionist. No. He is PERFECTION. There's a stark difference.Y'all say, "If God were perfection, why would he create us, imperfect creatures?"
Now, allow me tell y'all, "You have extreme low–self esteem for thinking that."
Why do I say this?
We ARE the perfect creatures. We ARE the mirrors of God's perfection. He said, "Let us make man in our own image and likeness, and let him have Dominion."
Now, y'all be thinking, "Oh, really? But we're not perfect”,
“Hmmm, but God DEMANDS perfection from us. Isn't that just wicked?"
No. It is not. Because like I wrote before, WE ARE PERFECT. God isn't doing any bad by telling us to show ourselves as we truly are. Like a mother demands her child study harder because she believes he is really smart. I tell you, this is not different.
God knows the creatures he created. God understands our off-on switch, knows the psychology of our souls.
We are an example of his perfection. "Why?" You may wonder.
The height of every creator's dream is to build things that would break boundaries, exceed expectations, and do even more. That's why there are always new models.
Yet, there is no new model to Man. God made the perfect creature, with his own will and dominion, one that can distinguish good from bad (believe me, we're blessed to have this ability, otherwise we would be no more than animals); a creature with shocking and dynamic features that, wonderfully do not need upgrades. Isn’t that awesome!
The best part about His perfection? He has allowed his creation to make his own decisions, shoulder the consequences of such decisions and learn from them and through our faults we evolve, which, I dare say is the height of perfection."God says we must be like Christ! But we are not Christ! We are only human!"
Ah, let me go ahead and kick that out of you with a roundhouse.
Christ is an example of what we were, what we still are. He is God showing us what perfection is. He is God telling us, "Hey there, dude in the ugly shorts, look at me closely. Can you see through me, how perfect you are? Come on, hold my hand, let me walk you through it."
We are made in His image, from the essence of what He is. God is PERFECTION.
It is time we started acting like Him, like our Father.
