Perfection?

So today I was watching Glee(yes I am a gleek!) and it really inspired this post.
They were talking about "being born this way". Yes, they were referring to the Lady Gaga song, as that is what they were singing, but the deeper meaning behind the whole reason for them choosing that song was really encouraging and inspiring.

In today's society, all around North America, and even the rest of the world, people both young and old battle with self esteem issues. There is always a part of a person that they don't like. With this Glee episode, each glee member touched on their imperfections, and it really got me thinking. It instantly brought me to my all time favourite bible verse.

1 Corinthians 13:10
"But when perfection comes, the imperfect disappear."
 And you know, this verse is soooo true. That day when we stand face to face with God every single one of our imperfections are going to be washed away. Exciting isn't it? I think it is, but that time hasn't come, and there are still soo many people struggling. So in this moment, I believe we, as a people of God have been called to lay those feelings at the feet of Jesus, and to help others do the same.

One other part of Glee that really stuck out was how each and every glee member wore a T-shirt that displayed their insecurities. Most of them weren't what you see in everyday life, like the fact that a person can't dance, or sing, or has the wrong coloured eyes, but ultimately, a lot of people struggle with those aspects of their lives. I think it's about time that we get past the fact that the only type of insecurities a person has is weight, height, intelligence, etc, and start helping the people who struggle with the fact that they can't dance, or doesn't have the right kind of hair. Now don't get me wrong, the sort of insecurities we see in everyday life are important, but I think the hidden ones are just as important too!

If I had a T-shirt with my insecurity on it, it's definitely say "socially awkward".
What would your T-shirt say? How are you going to come to terms with it and accept that God made you that way for a reason.
Sure I don't like being socially awkward but that makes me unique :)

Listen to this song, it's good!
