How to be Perfect: A Recipe for Disaster

2 cups insecurity
1 cup jealousy
4 cups pride
1/2 cup contempt
3/4 cup bitterness
1 cup anger
1 tsp stubborness
2 tbls arrogance

Add insecurity, jealousy, pride and contempt together until you witness seething. Quickly add bitterness to the mix until mixture becomes hard and callous. In a serperate bowl bring anger and stubborness to a boil until it turns red. Mix together with the pride mixture until is reaches a dark, rough texture. Place mixture in a well suited, non-transparent conatiner. Sprinkle with arrogance for flavor.

This is my idea of perfection.
Know how I know?
Because I am driven to be perfect every day. What most people don't know it that underneath the beatiful exterior is a recipe for disastor. I have to be dilligent in every area of my life in order to prevent this recipe from destroying my life.
I work hard at making the recipe look good, but if you taste it you would know that it isn't.
Jesus says, taste and see that I am good.
He has a recipe I can use to replace my existing one.
Want it?

4 cup forgivness
2 cup honor
1 cup love
3 cup grace
2-1/2 cup mercy
4 tbsp tears
2 tsp prayer

Add forgiveness, honor, love and grace together. Mix until mixture is smooth. Slowly sift grace into the mixture, stirring carefully. In a seperate bowl, add mercy and tears, stir until it turns white, then add it to the grace mixture. Stir both together until contents are thouroughly mixed. Pour into a transparent container and sprinkle with prayer.
Serves all. Enjoy.

That's really awesome! I'm the same way sometimes. But God's showing me that I simply can't make stuff perfect. I need to let Him do that!

Thanks for sharing. (:
