Perfect by Flyleaf

Sick of circling the same road
Sick of bearing the guilt
So open the windows to cool off
And heat pours in instead

Perfect in weakness
I'm only perfect in just your strength alone

All my efforts to clean me
Leave me putrid and filthy
And how can you look at me
When I can't stand myself

I'm tired to be honest
I'm nobody

Perfect in weakness
I'm only perfect in just your strength alone

Perfect in weakness
I'm only running in just your strength alone

I tried to kill you
You tried to save me

You save me
You save me
You save me
You save me

Perfect in weakness
I'm only perfect in just your strength alone

Perfect in weakness
I'm only running in just your strength alone





we try to fix ourselves and clean out our lives on our own strength and it is impossible. everytime we fall we look for where things might have gone wrong. all the possibilities flood our minds and we are overwhelmed. still we look for and go through every route as to where we went wrong and how we could have fixed it. this only causes further falling.

it is so amazing to me that in this weakness, when we have fallen to our bottom-most low, we are perfect. in this weakened state that we put ourselves in, we are perfect in that we have nothing and no one to rely on but God. it brings us to our knees every time. as we sit there on our knees, we are like little children in the darkness of night, calling out to our father to come to our rescue and turn on the hall light. knowing that when he walks down the hall and opens our door, everything will be alright. that all there was to frighten us will dissipate. in this child like faith we are saved.

"But Jesus said," Let the little children alone,
and do not hinder them from coming to Me;
for the kingdom of Heaven belongs to such
as these."
Matt. 19:14

"Truely I say to you, whoever does not receive
the kingdom of God like a child will not enter
it all."
Mark 10:15

how could we receive God unless as a child? otherwise we would be too smart for our own good and not humble at all. a child is weak and knows it needs protection. a child will call for a father in the night after a nightmare. it does not tell itself," this was just a bad dream. i am alive in my bed. everything is as it should be." the only thing that comes into the childs mind is that it is frightened and wants someone big and strong to come and make things better. and in full faith believes that it will be better...

God is so amazing!
