Embrace Your Imperfections

So, I read this on-line article that offered 7 ways to become more approachable. I don't think of myself as being unapproachable, but I figured a quick read couldn't hurt...and maybe I could apply the time spent reading the article toward my required annual continuing-education requirement.

One of the ways the article suggested as a path to becoming more approachable is to "embrace your imperfections."

Well, I don't know if that is an area of my life I really want to open up and deal with. Imperfections. Seems to me I am about as perfect as I'm gonna get...at least any time soon.
Honestly, of course, I am not perfect in so many ways: not a perfect dad, haven't been a perfect husband, not close to being a perfect pastor/preacher, never gonna be perfect at golf! Haven't bowled a 300 game! Haven't pitched a perfect game! Haven't written the great novel!

There's so much imperfection to embrace, in my case. And even if I do embrace it, how is that going to make me more approachable? Do I want to be more approachable? Maybe I could be perfect in my unapproachableness!

Good thing that God and the occasional human being say they love us and really mean it...even if we aren't perfect!

A little love every now and then makes it all better...
