Striving for perfection and perfectionism may be an unrealistic goal. We can not control everything that comes into contact in our lives and a fear of failure can spoil what God has planned for us. Sometimes the external standards around us alter our practice of Justice, mercy, and faith, which are processes that help us mature as Christians. Sometimes we just need to loosen up and laugh at the absurd-imperfect actions in our lives and see them as learning tools of our loving God in helping make us better Christians.
